And sorry, I have no control on how Ubuntu wants the partitions to be
mounted. The security concerns are different in Windows and Ubuntu.

This has been mounted with the internal ntfs driver, which is read-only.
Maybe you retry with ntfs-3g. Sorry about the technical explanation.

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.
