You cannot repair permissions on a non-boot drive. If those drives are data-only drives, then repairing permissions is impossible.
What I suspect is something to do with MacFUSE and the NTFS format. NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft, and is not documented -- meaning that any 3rd party support for it is basically "reverse engineered" ("cracked" -- for lack of a better term).
I'm assuming the date problem you see only happens on the Mac, correct? Or, rather, it only manifests on the Mac, and once manifested, is visible on the Windows PCs as well?
Can you perform a test where the drives are left connected to a Windows PC, and simply shared across the network to the Macs?
