mounting ntfs usb disk and user access

$

before I had an external usb hard disk (formated with ntfs) mounted in user space (i.e. via the KDE panel or by clicking in dolphin on the respective entry)

no I want to mount that HD at boot time and to export it via nfs.
when doing that I encountered the following problem:
I want a particular folder on that HD to be accessibe by a particular user.
with non-ntfs-disks I simply had used chown to change the permissions of that folder.
with the ntfs disk however this didn't word. the permissions didn't change after using chown (as root of course)
but the permissions are set to rwx for all!

does ntfs not allow to mount as root and to set ownership to a particular user?
do I have to format the disk to e.g. ext?

the fstab entry for that disk contains:
ntfs-3g user,user_xattr,nofail 1 2
before it was
ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
with the same result
