Hello,
I've just tried to replicate you're problem, but have had no joy:
[admin@vsone ftp]$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 May 2 11:15 incoming
[admin@vsone ftp]$ chown admin incoming/
[admin@vsone ftp]$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 admin ftp 4096 May 2 11:15 incoming
[admin@vsone ftp]$ chown ftp incoming/
[admin@vsone ftp]$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 May 2 11:15 incoming
[admin@vsone ftp]$
There may be some problems with the packages installed into you're skel.
Damion.
