Putting umask=0222 as the options for my NTFS mount finally permitted me as a normal user to access my ntfs mount. GREAT. Now, 222 is write permissions across the board. But I notice that the owner for all files & directories is root (user and group). But permissions are really read only. Is there a way to make it possible to have read/write permissions to the ntfs partition? Would 666 work?
