Found what it was: The script worked fine when ran manually, but
failed when ran by CRON because it couldn't locate lftp:

Downloading from Source FTP
/var/sync.bash: line 3: lftp: command not found
Uploading to Target FTP
/var/sync.bash: line 6: lftp: command not found

Moral of the story: Start by leaving error messages as is before
redirectering them to /dev/null once the script proved to work.
