That is exactly as I did it, and it worked fine. You have to know as well, that when you move to another kernel you have to rpm the newer kernel-ntfs file again. I guess you know that. My thought here is why not just recompile the kernel and select that option. You won't have to look for the correct kernel-ntfs file again. (for that kernel). I guess this doesn't answer your question though, but what you have done should work. Maybe try another one of your partitions? You will probably have a few. Try mounting each of them until you find one that works.. Just my 2cents worth..
