worked fine. Now the permissions have been changed so that I only

I have tried the usual approach to these kinds of issues, i.e. sudo
chmod -R 0755 /path/to/drive but this has absolutely no effect. I
am identified as the owner of the drive and as part of the group,
but I cannot change the permissions of this either as root directly
nor using sudo.
Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
Missed this thread..
To the OP, have you tried:
$ lsattr -d /path/to/usb/
# chattr -i /path/to/usb/

Hey Chris, Freeman
No I didn't - I nicked the fix from Tixie's recommendation - basically
linking the old ntfs-3g driver to pick up the new driver:
#link /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs
As (again) Tixie notes, it does seem to be a bug, and those affected
appear to be using Gnome under either testing or sid. The trick seems
to work, but am not sure what happens when it gets fixed.
Thanks for your follow up guys!
