You can create and delete files but you can't update the timestamps as your
error message says. From the utimes manual:
"Changing time stamps is permitted when: either the process has
appropriate
privileges (Linux: has the CAP_FOWNER capability), or the effective
user ID
equals the user ID of the file, or buf must is NULL and the process has
write
permission to the file."
You're trying to change the timestamp as you/ntfs user/group , so you're not
entitled to do so. The check is done by the kernel and it's correct.
If you want to be able to change the timestamps then use the 'uid' mount
option.

Because nobody implemented full multi-user support with full access right
handling for NTFS yet. So either the above or full access for everybody are
the current choices at the moment.
