Hosting a NTFS drive share from Mavericks to Windows 8
I've been using TuxeraNTFS for a number of years now to give my Apple computers the ability to read NTFS drives, namely, my bootcamp partition.  Tuxera recently updated their software to support Mavericks and it has been running fine on my iMac and on my Macbook Pro.  However, I've never had to connect to an SMB share using this software so I can't say for certain that it will work in that fashion, but it may be worth investigating if it resolves your issue.

The software isn't free unfortunately, but it is cheap, currently only $31.
