can't copy some ntfs directories

[Tex-Twil]

Hello,
this time I have a ntfs permission issue. I have a external ntfs HD with data on it. I can access most of the files correctly but some directories are marked with a little lock visible in Finder (see screenshot). I can open the files om the disk but when I try to cope then it says "Cannot copy file - unable to create file at the destination"

If I had a look at the permissions, they look fine:

drwxr-xr-x  1 me   staff    4096 Sep 11 08:36 Movies
drwxr-xr-x  1 me   staff    8192 Aug  9 13:12 Photo

The "destination" is my home dir but I also tried /tmp. And the user "me" is .. me

Any ideas ? Thanks,
Tex

Normal OSx doesn't write to ntfs volumes - it's read only. Can you save to a norma OSx disk?

Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm trying to copy from the ntfs disk to my osx disk.

Select the file/folder, go to file -> get info. Uncheck the locked box and see if that helps.

This checkbox is grayed

ok it looks like copying the folder as root did the trick
