I have been searching and trying a few things (Macfuse + ntfs3G, etc.) to get my external USB HDD to be writable for a while now. I can not get it working under OS 10.4. Has anyone here been successful? I am in a real bind and need to figure this out ASAP.

Thanks to anyone who has a solution!

Yes, but if you read the note listed:

Summary: DO NOT INSTALL ON 10.4/10.3
This driver was ported before Apple released their own version of the same driver in 10.3. It offers no other features over the driver included with the OS (in fact, it probably offers less features).
 
Even worse, if you attempt an install on a 10.4 system, you will overwrite Apple's driver and you will longer have any access to NTFS drives (as my driver does not even load on 10.4 systems). You will then have to figure out a way to restore Apple's drivers. Which will not be easy without a full re-install.
 
This holds true for all future releases of OS X as well (ie. 10.5, etc).

Its not a feasible option. 10.4 does not allow write access yet.

You could try on the FreeBSD forums at bsdforums.org.
