[SOLVED] Can't write to NTFS-3G mount

I'm trying to mount a NTFS drive with the following options but I keep getting "Permission denied" when I try to create a file.

defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=133,dmask=222,windows_names,hide_dot_files,recover,rw

I can create files after removing fmask and dmask but that causes the file mode to be 777.

Is there any way to keep the masks but allow write access to my user without sudo?

I knew I was doing something wrong… dmask should be set to 022.

Or not set at all and simply left to use the defaults as mentioned on the wiki...
