I'm trying to use unison (the GUI) to synchronize two folders; unfortunately, one of them is a Windows drive mountpoint with properties set to 0777 - and unison shows that as a difference which requires synchronization.

How can I make unison (specifically, the GUI) ignore these property differences and only look at the rest of the criteria (dates, sizes etc.?)

As indicated in the Preferences section of the Unison User Manual and Reference Guide, you can set:

perms=0
dontchmod=true

in your preferences file (.prf).

On a computer running OS X, you can find these .prf-files in the directory /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Unison/
