Permission problem when accessing usb stick

I've been trying to make some sort of automounting work with my usb stick. The usb stick is formatted in NTFS to work with both windows and linux. Following this guide seemed to work very well, but I can't write to it still: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AutoFS_HowTo
The device automounts like it should, but neither as normal user or root I can write to it. I only get permission denied. I therefore tried mounting it with:

mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb

and it mounts, but I still can't write to it.

Anyone can think of why I can't seem to write to it?

You need to mount it with ntfs-3g as the filesystem type.
