certain .dmg files do not mount after install (including MacFuse 4.0 installer)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install MacFuse (3.0 or 4.0)
2. Install NTFS-3G 1.516
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

For certain (not all, but some) .dmg images (including the MacFuse 4.0
installer):

Expected: .dmg will mount succesfully

Instead: .dmg image does not mount, error given: no mountable file systems

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

MacFuse Core 3.0 and 4.0, MacFuse Tools 3.0, OSX 10.4.10

Please provide any additional information below.

This happened immediately after installing MacFuse and the NTFS filesystem.
I am not sure if MacFuse alone does it, or if the NTFS thing alone does it,
or a combination of both (maybe MacFuse Tools that installs along with the
NTFS?). I tried uninstalling the NTFS thing and MacFuse tools 3.0 and it is
still doing it. I'm not sure how to uninstall MacFuse core 3.0/4.0.

No, this is not a MacFUSE issue (MacFUSE does not, and *cannot*, affect disk 
image mounting).

This has to do with (as far as I know) something broken in the version of the 
ntfs-3g package you might have 
installed. Apparently it also doesn't uninstall correctly. Try searching in 
past issues reported here, and in the 
macfuse-devel forum. If nothing else, try deleting the folder 
/System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-3g.fs (NOT 
"ntfs.fs", which you must not delete) and restarting.

removing /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-3g.fs fixes the problem

Thanks!
