It fails because the development of ntfsck has been interrupted years ago before anything useful was developed.

ntfsfix does not check the volume, it fixes common errors preventing from mounting, and triggers a check by Windows. If you can mount, you do not need ntfsfix.
If you want to call fsck.ntfs, do so with an option avoiding the checks, until some kind soul strives to develop them.
