NTFS troubles with PC-BSD

Yesterday I installed PC-BSD, the process was easy breezy, but had to mount the NTFS drives manually (all 4 of them). Today, I've notice that I'm only allowed to read their contents and not write or modify them.
Figured I'll install NTFS-3G and get it done with, the installation process went smoothly, yet somehow I'm still unable to write to NTFS partitions.
I'm sure it is a mistake on my behalf, as NTFS-3G does work and I've installed it before on Mac OS X, and provided me with full NTFS R/W support.
I'll dedicate some time to it later, but I'd just like to mention that if PC-BSD wants to become a serious desktop OS, NTFS R/W support should be made available by default. That's the only downside until now.
