I've tryed to solve this myself with small success.  What I did was to
pass the uid=xxxx along with the options, where xxxx is my uid.  If this
is your personal machine and/or you are the only user who need access to
the nt partition it works...
  The same goes for the partition I use for files I need to modify from
both win and lin, only this is fat32 formated (under win2k).  The lines
in my fstab goes

	/dev/hdd1       /mnt/share      vfat    uid=3753
	/dev/hdf1       /mnt/ntfs       ntfs    ro,uid=3753

If you find out how to solve this "for real" please share with me.
