This may amuse you but I am not sure why?!!
Probably my brain had wandered off again to play
any-ways I noticed the mistake the next day, at a time when I was more attentive !! ;)

Now this is what I see
iamme at thishost\~ >sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/Andrew -t ntfs-3g -o rw,uid=1001,gid=1001
iamme at thishost\~ >ls -ld /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
drwxrwxrwx 1 iamme 1001 4096 2010-04-05 09:52 /media/Andrew/Protected/Projects/
iamme at thishost\~ >

Thank you to you all and William & Tom
