Agreed; the security model is one issue. For an NT clone, you really need a filesystem capable of supporting ACLs, among other things. Does ext3 support extended attributes? If so, then this could be implemented over top of that; as it could be over BFS (the BeOS file system, which is EXTREMELY fast due to its indexing of these attributes, etc.), or over XFS (SGI's filesystem for IRIX); either of these filesystems is industrial-strength, 64-bit, journaling, and worth considering.
SGI has released XFS source code as pseudo-open-source for use in Linux, and I think they allow use in other open-source systems, as well (not completely sure of the license any more). BFS is being rewritten by the OpenBeOS project (www.openbeos.org).
Something new and unique is also possible, of course.

mark my words: using Ext3 unomodified as the main filesystem *will* mean trouble
