Calibre ebook-edit doesn't write on NTFS partition

Hi,
when i save an .epub on my NTFS partition with Calibre ebook-edit, it says error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/tweak_book/job.py", line 34, in run
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/tweak_book/boss.py", line 998, in do_save
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/tweak_book/save.py", line 42, in save_container
EnvironmentError: Failed to change permissions of /media/DATI/e-book/.B7MrH_.epub to 0100777 (-rwxrwxrwx), with error: EPERM. Most likely the /media/DATI/e-book directory has a restrictive umask

why? all other programms can write on that NTFS partition.

$ cat /etc/fstab|grep DATI
UUID=FED42612762E3D27 /media/DATI ntfs rw,nofail,umask=0000 0 0

on ext4 partition it works.

Re: Calibre ebook-edit doesn't write on NTFS partition

NTFS doesn't support UNIX file permissions. You could try and overcome this with the "permissions" mount option, but to me this looks like a bug in calibre.
