How do you set permanent ownership of a partition? [SOLVED]

I'm using ntfs-3g to mount my two NTFS partitions.  Everything works except remounting the partitions after I unmount them.  If I run these commands in the terminal right before attempting to mount, it mounts properly:

sudo chown root.ntfsuser /dev/sda1
sudo chown root.ntfsuser /dev/sda2

When I unmount these partitons and try again, it doesn't work unless I rerun the commands.  How can I make the effects of these commands permanent?

I am a member of the 'ntfsuser' group.

Making this permanent would require changing (or adding) some config under /etc/udev/rules.d . I don't know how to do it.

An easier idea would be to add yourself to the "disk" group, which is the default for these devices.
