There are default permissions in play when you mount the drive; I had a similar problem while mounting ntfs drives a while back and I was able to get past the problem by altering the umask value in the fstab. Do something like /dev/sdb1 /mnt/winxp ntfs defaults, umask=222 0 0 in the fstab. I think umask=222 was the correct fstab value, someone else can correct me if that's not the case.
