Your device was probably mounted automatically by udisks, which forces
"fmask=177, dmask=077"

Please post your exact command, or try :

mount -t ntfs -o permissions MY-DEVICE MY-MOUNT-POINT
chmod 731 MY-MOUNT-POINT/my-file
ls -l MY-MOUNT-POINT/my-file

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.
