I'm not a pro FreeBSD user, but wouldn't the FTPD program be more 
responsible for the user's login credentials since that's what they're 
using that's causing the wrong permissions to be applied?

 From what I remember, FTPD verifies the users login, but doesn't 
actually execute any login scripts associated with that user.
