I just did it on my zOS 1.7 system with the hfs file.  Works great.

User (some.host.name:(none)): userx
331 Send password please.
Password:
230-Processing FTPS.RC configuration file - /u/userx/ftps.rc
230-HFS directory /etc/WebSphere is the current working directory
230 USERX is logged on.  Working directory is "/etc/WebSphere".

That was from a DOS prompt (or whatever it's called now).  Worked 
fine with FileZilla too.
Did you get this kind of output, suggesting that it was running through 
the config file?  And, if you are expecting it to keep the user at that 
directory (can't change directory, etc.) then this won't do it.  You could 
try to do it with permissions, but that's a bear.  It's much easier with 
the FTP exit.
