So before suggesting to replace the existing filesystem, I'd say it
is much more productive to check if the user in question is able to
access the top-level dir of that share.  ntfs mount can use uid=/gid=
options for that, it doesn't need to be xattr-able (so to say).  And
sure thing this is something which the OP is already verified, right? :)

I'm not going to argue here anymore, it's pointless.
