udiskie mounts ntfs partition with permissions 700

External usb hard drive with two partitions, one is ext3 other is ntfs.
When I plug it in, udiskie nicely mounts both partitions, but the ext3 one is readable by other users (755), the ntfs one is not (700). Can I change this behaviour somehow, so that others (like mpd) can see the ntfs partition as well?

Re: udiskie mounts ntfs partition with permissions 700

Upstream's answer:

There is currently no way to pass extra arguments from udiskie.
Implementation plan on this would be to add a config file with mount options for each filesystem type.

Question: can fstab help in such situation?

No, fstab is for static devices, udiskie does not use it.

Have a look at the ntfs-3g page in the wiki, it might help you.
