I don't think you want to be chmoding a Windows filesystem.
Try adding the "uid=,gid=" options to your mount command (or to
/etc/fstab, if that's how you're doing it); this will cause the
filesystem to be mounted with the specified permissions. This is of
course only useful if you fill those values in correctly (i.e. with
the UID/GID of the user to whom you want to grant access).
You can verify that this is in fact the problem you're facing by doing
a ``ls -l'' on the mounted fs and seeing what the permissions are.
