Yes, the problem is the ntfs - it does not support SELinux
attributes. You can fix the problem by add the
context=system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 option to the fstab entry
used to mount the ntfs partition.

When using Samba to share out files, it does not matter what file
system the server is using - it looks like a Windows share to the
computer accessing it. All my Samba shares are on ext3 file systems
here.
