I have a 20 GB NTFS volume that I was planning on using for a variety of purposes, including being readable by windows with little effort.

Unfortunately, for some reason, I cannot execute any files on the drive, even after following the answer here (I was able to mount the volume just fine, but the error persists).

How can I fix this?

Output from mount:
