[Hardy] Can't set access rights to NTFS partitions

[Matiee]

I have some NTFS partitions to which I want esclusive access for the only users that belong to ntfs-users (group created by me, gid=2000)

As I did in Gutsy, I opened up /etc/fstab and corrected the option gid=46 to gid=2000

This worked very well with Gutsy, but no longer works with Hardy.

In Hardy, I can even use the option umask=777 to deny every kind of right to every user in the system (even to root),
but in that case too, every normal unprivileged user will have read/write access to every NTFS partition.

I'm assigning this to ntfs-3g as that sounds like the most likely place to start.
