Hi there,

It looks like the classical passive/active issue for ftp servers. 

Sometimes, depending on the ftp server configuration ... you simply need
to open the connection to all high ports because the ftp servers are
configured to allocate a dynamic new port for each connection for the data
transfer.

This is because, of course, the ftp clients do not use the proxy and tried
to directly connect to the net. 

You seem to have an old MNF, right, If I look at your rules proxy synthax
... (rpm -q shorewall ?)

my 2cts,
