What is the OS? What kind of NTFS driver do you have?
I know that Ubuntu installs NTFS drivers which can read/write. Redhat (I think) is now implementing it.

Anyhow, in Ubuntu do this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

Or check out: NTFS-3G: Stable Read/Write NTFS Driver

That will install latest ntfs drivers. By default only root will have read/write access. You will then have to open it up. There are some pros and cons to letting users write ntfs partitions. You will have to look that up.

HTH,
Nitin

If you can access it with root but not the new user, I would look at the permissions of your mounts.
