i'd be guessing that you need to make sure your shell is in
/etc/shells...

% man ftpd
...
     ftpd authenticates users according to five rules.
...
           3.   The user must have a standard shell returned by
                getusershell(3).  (If the user's shell field in the password
                database is empty, the shell is assumed to be /bin/sh.)
