Of course, completely different, based on arbitrarily long ACLs and not POSIX 
rwxrwxrwx bits.

Mounting a NTFS volume on a Unix machine means these ACLs must then be somehow 
"translated" to give the impression of POSIX protection bits, and as one might 
imagine, such an emulation seldom works 100%, especially not if the code 
expects to be able to change the protection bits of some file and see a result 
as specified by POSIX semantics.
