seems you haven't set the user option in your fstab set. See:

man mount, search for: user

In my fstab the windows entries looks like:

/dev/sda2 /mnt/winnt ntfs umask=0,rw,noauto,user            0       2
/dev/sda3 /mnt/fat vfat umask=0,rw,noauto,user            0       2
/dev/sda5 /mnt/fat32 vfat umask=0,rw,noauto,user            0       2
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs_h ntfs umask=0,rw,noauto,user            0       2

(I should tweak the umask sometimes.)
