Uhm, upstream says "it does not work" (see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=23836054&forum_id=2697 first post, last paragraph). I would advise against adding ~amd64, especially since we are dealing with a file system driver here. Yes, this is experimental, everybody messing around with it should expect data loss, but adding ~ARCH while upstream explicitly says "doesn't work" sounds like a bad idea...
Well maybe not keyword it direct but use this bug as a tracker for issues ? No compile issues here and everything seems to work, and some stress testing probably wont go a miss, but completely ignoring that it does work seems a bit over the top and the devs only say they don't have the hardware but the code is fully amd64 compatible as far as compilation is concerned.
Szaka said that it does not work, because he had not tested it on AMD64. linux-ntfs team received a lot of reports that it working, feel free to add ~amd64
Okay ~amd64
