We may be much closer, thanks. If indeed [f]getxattr(2) is used then we 
would only need to know the name of the extended attribute.

Then you could add support in ntfs-3g.c:ntfs_fuse_getxattr(). The hidden 
attribute is ni->flags & FILE_ATTR_HIDDEN. Since this code is not critical, 
it could be even included in the next stable ntfs-3g release, perhaps in a 
week.

At the moment you also need to use the streams_interface=xattr mount option 
to support extended attributes. This will be default at some point in the 
future.
