I just booted a laptop that has Windows and attempted to write to a
NTFS partition and got the same permission problem as what you saw.  I
also checked the code in kmod-ntfs.  The write option is apparently
enabled.  I need to wait for Alan for confirmation though.

Well, the mount command shows what it was told to display - in this
case, it was mounted with the "rw" option.  The driver has to be
corrected to do the right thing.

But we need to look into the matter in more details.
