Couple of things that I can think of -

-) The partition's not NTFS is it?  As I recall, you have to explicitly 
enable write support when compiling the kernel/module and you'd only want 
to do that if you were happy to trash your NTFS partition being as it's 
highly experimental.
-) Are you trying to write as root or non-root?  If as non-root, then 
you may need to set the 'owner' or 'group' option to tell the OS which 
user and group to use on filesystems that don't support a full range of 
file attributes, such as FAT32, etc.

HTH,

John.
