Although it has been awhile from your question, I faced the same problem today and found this answer to be working: What is /Library/StagedExtensions for and how to remove extensions

Outline: the kernel provides a new way to clear staged extensions with the following command:

sudo kextcache --clear-staging

That will wipe the entire "StagedExtensions" directory and any subdirectories.

Use sudo:

sudo rm -rf /Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Filesystems/tuxera_ntfs.fs
