svnadmin hangs when creating Berkeley repository on NTFS-3G partition

I have an NTFS partition mounted in Linux at /windows/D. When there is
no directory named repos in /windows/D and I run
cd /windows/D
svnadmin create --fs-type bdb repos
then svnadmin just hangs and top shows that most of the CPU is used by
mount.ntfs-3g and some CPU is also used by svnadmin (at the time of
writing, the TIME+ column in top shows that mount.ntfs-3g has used 50
minutes and svnadmin has used 8 minutes CPU time).

However, on a reiserfs partition on the same disk, "svnadmin create
--fs-type bdb repos" works fine (finishes in a couple of seconds).
"svnadmin create repos" (with " --fs-type bdb" omitted) also works
fine on NTFS.

I am using openSuse 11.0, with the subversion 1.5.2, ntfs-3g 1.5012,
fuse 2.7.2-32.1 and kernel 2.6.25.18-0.2-pae.

This the line of /etc/fstab for mounting /windows/D:
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3120026A_3JT2CK0G-part5 /windows/D

ntfs-3g users,locale=et_EE.UTF-8,exec 0 0
