So from what I understand ntfs-3g is a fuse filesystem. I would assume 
that when you do ls -Z on any file on your ntfs-3g mount that it comes 
back with the type fuse_t. Unfortunately fuse doesn't support 
finer-grained labeling with SELinux. The best thing that you will be 
able to do is make it so your entire ntfs-3g mount is labeled 
samba_share_t and then just export the folders you want. You should be 
able to do this by adding -o context=system_u:object_r:samba_share_t to 
your mount command for your ntfs-3g mount.
