This is weird. It's only different from my original in that it
doesn't specifically block uploads to anywhere other than incoming (and
as you say you can't upload anywhere else anyway), but it works for me,
and indeed my old ftpaccess with those other lines works for me now
as well!!

So I've gone through line by line commenting out and putting
back. One of the lines that I put in when trying to fix it was

anonymous-root /home/ftp   

If I comment this out then it all works alright. It must have been
broken for some other reason when I put this in, and then I forgot to
take this out afterwards. But from my reading of the man page this line
is valid, so I'm not sure why it breaks it. 

Ho hum.

Thanks to all of you.
