I've seen that the manual says that the default security is that files
and directories are created with the effective user and group of the
mounting process, and have full access for everyone. I used the guid
and umask options to change the security to have full access only for
owner and group. I changed this because it is not acceptable that
everyone has full permissions.

but I cannot understand why tar gives errors... If I have write
permissions on a folder, shouldn't I be able to create and delete
files on it? Why should I be the same user of who mounts the ntfs
partition?

I created a folder in an ext3 partition with the same permissions
(755) and tar does not print errors...

drwxrwx---  1 root     ntfs     4096 2007-07-08 23:52 Dati (ntfs-3g)
drwxrwx---  3 root     ntfs     4096 2007-07-09 09:43 test (ext3)

What am I missing?

This behavior is limiting as I can use the ntfs partition as /home
(and I think also /, even if I would never do it) only without
restricting the default permissions

Thank you
