Could someone take a look at this configuration for me? My question is, why is it denying my anonymous login? [its actually the default anon config, which is why I don't understand it not working]

I hate to be obvious, as you've probably done it, but the first couple of lines in the header are:
# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.
