Vim can definitely edit files on an NTFS partition - I do it, and
rechecked.  Maybe there is still something to do with the owner, that only
Vim cares about.  Can you set yourself as the owner of the directory?  I
had problems doing that; I would make myself the owner of the directory,
but mounting would change that, so I made those changes to the mount
command, and finally got it working.
