I followed the instructions on his site with no luck.  One thing I noticed--
part of it said to change permissions and ownership (chown and chmod).  Is
this supposed to have any noticable effect ?

Take this for instance:
[vlastyn@sundown:~] touch example_file
[vlastyn@sundown:~] ls -la example_file
   0 -rw-r--r--    1 vlastyn  None            0 Oct  4 22:24 example_file
[vlastyn@sundown:~] chown system.system example_file
[vlastyn@sundown:~] chmod 777 example_file
[vlastyn@sundown:~] ls -la example_file
   0 -rw-r--r--    1 vlastyn  None            0 Oct  4 22:24 example_file
[vlastyn@sundown:~]

I am of course running NTFS and with an up-to-date /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group.  I looked at the permissions with the GUI and they didn't
show any change either.
