Thank you for your help trying to get this right, which I cannot do when
users reporting issues do not answer my questions.

This is unclear to me, what is the output of :
$(which ntfs-3g) -help 2>&1 | grep ration

> For one file (TeXLaTeXcourse.pdf, inode 330476) I did ntfsinfo -fvi
330476

This file has a local copy, which should be able to access through ntfs-3g,... when I am get a correct picture. It would be useful if you also display the parent directory, which is apparently inode 462099 :
sudo ntfsinfo -fvi 462099

Title:
  ntfs: unsupported reparse point

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I recently updated my Windows-10 to the 1709 edition. Scanning the
  file system with Ubuntu, I get "unsupported reparse point" errors.
  Searching the web indicates that ntfs cannot handle certain files.

  I am running Ubutu-Mate 17.10:

  uname -r: 4.13.0-16-generic

  lsb_release -rcid:
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 17.10
  Release:	17.10
  Codename:	artful

  I include a file which runs ntfsinfo on a file where I get the "unsupported reparse point" message:
  sudo ntfsinfo -F /Windows/hh.exe /dev/sda1 >unsupported_reparse_point.txt

  while mounted: I issue ls -l <mount_point>/Windows/hh.exe 
  ls -l Windows/hh.exe 
  lrwxrwxrwx 2 .. .. 25 Sep 29 14:41 Windows/hh.exe -> unsupported reparse point

  I expect to see either a resolved link or a length for the file in
  question.
