If your errors are only on creating files, you are probably using the default settings in /etc/fstab, your windows partition is mounting with nosuid which means it shouldn't try to change the userid of any files it creates. Unfortunately, it appears to ignore this and tries to change the owner and errors. Even if you are in a group listed with access, it will still use your user id as the owner and generate the number. LM mounts it originally as root, so that is the owner. If you umount /mnt/windows and then mount /mnt/windows, it should work. You could also set it to not auto mount and then manually mount it.
