That's because Linux and OSX ignore NTFS permissions making it work more like FAT.

Plug an existing NTFS drive from one Windows system into another Windows system and you get a similar issue where opening a home directory requires you to take ownership.

But Linux refuse to ignore permissions on an ext2.
