I have my SteamApps folder symlinked to my ntfs drive where I have all my local data stored.

When launching TF2 I get these errors:

Steam error:  SteamProcessCall(WaitForAppReadyToLaunch)(0xab645e,0xffd70340,0xffd70128) failed with error 1: Failed to set file attributes
SteamWaitForAppReadyToLaunch() error:  SteamProcessCall(WaitForAppReadyToLaunch)(0xab645e,0xffd70340,0xffd70128) failed with error 1: Failed to set file attributes
CJoinGameDialog::OnSteamError() : launch game failed, with steam error:
 SteamProcessCall(WaitForAppReadyToLaunch)(0xab645e,0xffd70340,0xffd70128) failed with error 1: Failed to set file attributes

the mount options on the drive: nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-showrw,allow_other,default_permissions

I was able to get this working by mounting the driver under my user's ownership.

Just add these to the mount options: uid=1000,gid=1000

Nothing extracted yet.
