NTFS doesn't use the same permissions scheme as UNIX filesystems, so
you have to tell it i the mount options which user/group will own the
files and what their permissions should be. The "user" option
merely allows a non-root user to mount the fs; what you end up with
is still an fs with all files owned by root.
See "uid", "gid" and "umask" options.
Cheers,
Andy
