I used a Live DVD to upgrade to 13.04. However, this reset my fstab file, which I had previously set up to auto-mount using pysdm. Because of this, when I reinstalled Steam, it was unable to detect the games I had previously installed to my Windows partition. Attempting to re-add this folder to my Steam Library Folders left me with an error message stating
New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem with executable
permissions.
I then edited my fstab file to add the appropriate partition with the options uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137
, but I still get this error. How do I re-add my old Steam Library Folder?

I also have Steam libraries on an NTFS partition, on Ubuntu 13.04, here is the fstab entry for that partition (I removed the rest):
You probably need exactly the same options except for the partition's UUID, to get the UUID of your partition, locate your partion in /dev and use blkid, for an example if your partition is /dev/sda1 use:
sudo blkid /dev/sda1
You will get a result like this:If it still doesn't work it means you need to add other mount options, in this case have a look at that question.
