Permission change after moving file?

Question

I want to run a bash script in a directory /media/aliakbar/New Volume(internal drive)/further/path/to/file . The problem is: with chmod +x the file's permission is not changed (proof: I couldn't execute script from terminal):

-rw------- 1 aliakbar aliakbar    561 Jun  8 14:05 buildscript_0.10.0.sh

I moved the file to /home/<user>/Downloads/, did chmod +x which worked, and moved file back to /media/aliakbar/New Volume(internal drive)/further/path/to/file, replaced non-executable file but still with ls -l there's no change!?

NOTE: I'm on Ubuntu LTS 14.04 (dualboot) with df -T run in file directory returning:

/dev/sda3   fuseblk   277228568   168883892   108344676   61%   /media/aliakbar/New Volume

New Volume is on an internal drive
unfortunately I don't know how it's mounted, I have only an empty /etc/fstab.d/ folder

What am I doing wrong?

"What am I doing wrong?" ... You are forgetting to tell us what filesystem it is using and it better not be NTFS ;-) Or ... check the mount option used for that external disk... — Rinzwind, Jun 08 '15 at 12:27
Let me guess this is on a USB drive, right ? How did you mount it ? — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Jun 08 '15 at 12:29
no with df i get this: /dev/sda3 fuseblk 277228568 168883892 108344676 61% /media/aliakbar/New Volume — Aliakbar Ahmadi, Jun 08 '15 at 12:29
How about this sudo mount /media/aliakbar/New\ Volume -o remount,rw,uid=1000 ? — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Jun 08 '15 at 12:31
@AliakbarAhmadi fuseblk = NTFS. NTFS does not understand file permissions from Linux. You provide the permissions when mounting when using NTFS. — Rinzwind, Jun 08 '15 at 12:34
@Rinzwind ok, so what to do now?I'm new to linux so don't really know how to mount filesystems manually :/ — Aliakbar Ahmadi, Jun 08 '15 at 12:35
@Serg blkid returns: /dev/sda3: LABEL="New Volume" UUID="CA9C196A9C1951F5" TYPE="ntfs" — Aliakbar Ahmadi, Jun 08 '15 at 12:36
Please [edit] your question to add new information. It is hard to read and easy to miss in the comments. Also, please tell us 1) what kind of drive this is, external or internal and 2) how it is mounted. Is it mentioned in /etc/fstab? — terdon, Jun 08 '15 at 12:42

@Rinzwind: thanks, but this comment is not answered so what do i put there for /dev/whatever and /mnt/whatever in my case? http://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#comment534753_11843 — Aliakbar Ahmadi, Jun 08 '15 at 13:01
@AliakbarAhmadi /dev/sda3 , since this is what df output told you — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Jun 08 '15 at 13:03
@AliakbarAhmadi /mnt/whatever is just folder in /mnt folder. Just create some folder in /mnt, call it some name, like folder1 , and put /mnt/folder1. If you call it folder2, you'd put /mnt/folder2. Understand ? — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Jun 08 '15 at 13:37
