Hello,
This problem only effected my other non root directory mount spots as well. I 
did NOT end up fixing the problem completely just seemed to take away the 
symptom of not being able to execute and move files, i am still unable to 
change file permissions using nautilus. Its been a while since got it to work 
again, i don't remember why it worked but i think i added a boot option called 
umask to my fstab. https://wiki.umiacs.umd.edu/umiacs/index.php/Umask read up 
more about umask. At first i set umask=000 but apparently that is bad and 
allows anyone to be able change my folder permissions so now im using 
umask=022(more secure). Not 100% sure what i did to it so you might have better 
luck on forums. Here is my fstab for comparison (its been modified so i don't 
even remember what some of the other stuff is for). good luck.
