For comparison, here is the output using ntfs-3g-2014.2.15-1.fc20.x86_64:

  $ guestfish -N fs:ntfs exit
  $ virt-rescue --ro -a test1.img
  [...]
  ><rescue> ntfsresize --check /dev/sda1
  ntfsresize v2014.2.15 (libntfs-3g)
  ><rescue>

So that's basically the same as your output, and indicates that
the ntfsresize command itself is working.

Now you should try actually resizing the partition in virt-rescue.
Since it is inside ``virt-rescue --ro'' it won't actually alter the
disk image -- the ``--ro'' flag means that libguestfs puts a
protective overlay between the commands in the rescue shell and the
underlying disk image.

Here is what happens for me:

  ><rescue> ntfsresize /dev/sda1
  ntfsresize v2014.2.15 (libntfs-3g)
  Device name        : /dev/sda1
  NTFS volume version: 3.1
  Cluster size       : 4096 bytes
  Current volume size: 104727040 bytes (105 MB)
  Current device size: 104727040 bytes (105 MB)
  New volume size    : 104727040 bytes (105 MB)
  Nothing to do: NTFS volume size is already OK.

Rich.
