ntfs doesn't work because modprobe doesn't work because depmod is old

To have ntfs read/write support, I download ntfs-3g, then command "modprobe fuse" It tells me it can't find fuse in /lib/modules/[something like Arch_2.1]/modules.dep
Opening up the man page, it tells me modprobe depends on depmod.
So I run depmod. It tells me it can't find /lib/modules/Arch_2.1
I look through the directory, and there is no Arch_2.1 Only Arch_2.2 Because I upgraded the kernel the first time I commanded Pacman -Syu.

So how do I change where its looking, or what commands do I need to issue?

If you haven't rebooted since you upgraded your kernel, that's your problem.

If I try the command

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

(as described in the man page)
it can't find the mountpoint /mnt/windows...do I need to define it?

You need to create it.

From here it always seemed like it would be created for you. How would I go about creating /mnt/windows?
