OK, the owner of geodata is root (I assume that's not your username).

Try adding here uid=<your username> as an additional option. Something like:
  UUID=16A82CDCA82CBBDD /media/Docs     ntfs    
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46,uid=jeremy 0       0

Then do a:
sudo mount -o remount /media/Docs
Now check ls -al /media/Docs/geodata/TESTS/grass
If you appear as the owner instead of root, then GRASS should startup OK.

If you want to try this out "on the fly" without changing your fstab, 
then you can:
First check which disk (/dev/hdx or /dev/sdx where x might be 1,2,3...) 
is your ntfs partition with sudo fdisk -l, then...
sudo umount /media/Docs
sudo mount -o defaults,umask=0007,gid=46,uid=jeremy /dev/hdx /media/Docs
and check as above.

Let us know how it goes,
