Ntfs-3g problem 1 and 2 are fixed in newer releases. The other problems are unrelated to ntfs-3g and Ubuntu nautilus problems are indeed reported by many people to ntfs-3g upstream. Please note that I/O errors are perfectly valid if there are storage problems, e.g. bad sectors, detached devices. The /var/log files could help to pinpoint the reason for the I/O errors.
