Yikes, didn't anything interesting turn up in /var/log/messages, security or
the xferlog before resorting to strace?

Ah. wu.ftpd is a decent & more-configureable thing than in.ftpd, although for
some strange reason, I'm running proftpd here.

Check your /etc/ftpaccess file. The chances are at least one of the
directories isn't set to allow incoming (writes) from anonymous users.
