User permissions on NTFS volumes?

[urinal cake]

Here is how all my win2k partitions are set up in fstab:

/dev/hde1 /mnt/2ksys ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

I have tried adding the "user" option to no avial. Even as root, I cannot change permissions on these volumes. Thanks.

/dev/hde1 /mnt/2ksys ntfs user,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=027,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

Change the UID and GID shown as necessary; the umask will mount the partition with '750' ( rwxr_x___ ) perms. You must mount an NTFS or VFAT partition with the UID, GID and UMASK parameters in order to give it the appropriate ownership and perms. Please checkout the 'mount' manpage for details.

Thank you. I will check out the man page. Frankly, I'm so new at this they usually don't help me much.
