As there is no possible check, you should not request a check. Checks at
boot time are determined by the last field in /etc/fstab. <quote from
man fstab> : If  the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero
is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not  need  to
be checked </quote>

There are two possibilities : either you avoid the check, or you find
someone volunteering to develop a checker for free.

Title:
  should link fsck.ntfs -> ntfsfix/ntfsck

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've got a dualboot laptop, and the installer has created fstab
  entries for the NTFS partitions. But now oneiric is complaining that
  it can't mount them, and prompts me on boot what to do about it.
  Skipping or ignoring the error makes the boot complete, and boot.log
  reveals that it fails due to fsck.ntfs being missing.

  So, ntfs-3g should symlink fsck.ntfs to ntfsfix or ntfsck, though the
  latter fails to check my partitions, so maybe ntfsfix would be better.
