My guess would be some exotic permissions have been copied over from the
NTFS partition.

I'll assume you've used ls -l to check them, but now try "ls -Z" and
you'll see stuff like "user_u:object_r:user_home_t" on some entries.
If that is the problem you can try googling on "security context" or
"acl" to see how to remove them. Or find a way to copy them that doesn't
bring along that extra baggage. E.g. man cp tells me "cp -p"  (and
therefore "cp -a") copy over permissions but do not copy over security
context by default. Perhaps copying with the GUI does copy them over?

P.S. Is your NTFS partition mounted read-only? If read-write how is the
reliability? Linux's NTFS read/write support used to be suspect, and I
wondered if it was stable now?
