That does seem to be the answer. I was curious as to why it only fails on ntfs, so I had a look at the source. It seems that mount and fsck find mount_* and fsck_* through a hard-coded path of "/rescue:/sbin:/usr/sbin", but mount_ntfs-3g then additionally has to find mount_fusefs through the environment path. Perhaps sysutils/fusefs-libs should be patched to make the whole thing more self-consistent.
