It seems that you can't actually execute anything from an NTFS partition
anyway (though you can from vfat): clicking on a program in Nautilus
silently fails, while the command line says it can't find it (amd64
gutsy):
$ ls -l
...
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 188797 2007-03-16 16:15 rebecca
...
$ ./rebecca
bash: ./rebecca: No such file or directory
('rebecca' is a program I wrote, which lived in my Windows partition as
it also has a Windows version compiled from the same source; it ran fine
from there on my old Win98(vfat)/Ubuntu machine.)
While probably a bug in itself, this does mean that the above fix for
the "executable text file" message (which I agree is annoying, and far
more likely to be encountered by less knowledgeable users) wouldn't
actually change anything on NTFS.
PS. I think you do mean dmask=000,fmask=111. dmask=222,fmask=333
appears to forbid writing to that partition.
