Hi,

I just ran into this just yesterday. I was forgetting to load 
ip_conntrack_ftp in my iptables init script. For grins, here is a snip 
from my init script:

# Firewall Modules ~ assuming modularized kernel
    /sbin/modprobe ip_tables
    /sbin/modprobe iptable_nat
    /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack
    /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp

YMMV - your modules may vary :)
