My first attempt at debugging is to bring up a local shell prompt on the FTP server itself and do an "ftp 127.0.0.1" to totally knock the external network out of the loop. If that doesn't work, then the user likely doesn't really have a problem, the server itself does. Oh, and need I say "don't use root" as the test user?
