I've had this exact same problem. Unfortunately, it was a while ago and I can't remember what the cure (or the exact cause was). Fortunately, I do remember it had something to do with the fact that I had two or more NICs in that machine. In my case I couldn't get a connection to go under any circumstances, period (eg., even if I set ftp up for PASV mode). I'll keep looking in my "archives" and see if I can't find something more specific. In the meantime, Dan's suggestion r.e. strace is a good one; you might also get some use out of tcpdump (http://packetstormsecurity.org/sniffers/tcpdump/ - read the docs; I'm fairly certain you'll need libpcap, too). Two quick questions - they're pretty obvious, but you know how that goes - you're not blocking port 21 or port 22, right? And, if you have openssh installed, have you tried sftp?
