I just did the same thing with nVidia drivers. The issue is that Liva's
build system is apparently down until further notice. There is no ETA
for it to be back up as of the last time I checked.

That said, you can build your own drivers from the source RPMs on the
Livna site. As I said, this is what I just did for the nVidia drivers.
The instructions for doing this are on the Livna website
(http://rpm.livna.org) and, while they are a bit out of date and fuzzy,
if you read carefully and adapt for what it is you're trying to build,
it does indeed work.

I'll probably try and build updated NTFS drivers later today.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Chris
