How is a normal user supposed to know that we have to use a special 
mount command in that case? If the mount has been inconsistent with 
rsync operation I expect a warning and not this type of own, unexpected 
default action of the system.

I have used the mount command with the permission set to 777, without 
any success. To make sure that I did not misinterpret the complex 
command line options, I have used  also a gui for the mount command with 
the same result.

Title:
  NTFS partition unusable after copying network folder to it.

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had a working ntfs partition and used it for ubuntu
  9.10/10.04/10.10/11.04 and 11.10. I had a windows XP network folder
  with full permissions set to "system" and my user-id. I used grsync to
  copy that a subfolder from the network folder to my ntfs partition.
  unfortunately it had the preserve owner, preserve group and preserve
  permission ticked.

  After the grsync operation my ntfs partition had the following
  permission settings: owner "root" with permissions to "access files"
  only. Group and Others had no permissions at all.

  It has been impossible to correct the situation manually. If grsync or
  other programs are allowed to mess up my permission, I need at least
  the possibility to manually correct it.
