The in-kernel module is still very limited in what it can do:
Still mostly read-only, but with safe file overwrite support on all
Windows versions including changes to the file size (uncompressed,
unencrypted, non-sparse files only).

In other words, it's not full re-write, and can't mkdir.
As has been suggested, go with the NTFS-3G driver.
Hope this helps,
James.
