After further tests, I have isolated the problem to the "no_def_opts" option of ntfs-3g. For these tests, the NTFS partition is not mentioned in /etc/fstab. The mount point for the NFTS partition is an empty directory /net/win owned by root with permissions rwxrwxrwx With this setup, if I log in as root and mount the NTFS partition "ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /net/win", all is OK. Logged in as root if I mount the partition "ntfs-3g -o no_def_opts /dev/sda5 /net/win" then I can "cd /net" but in response to "cd win", the system says "win: Operation not permitted". root can not cd into a directory that is owned by root!
