LoL. jeez i sure did have it backwards. I just did this yesterday to my ftp server so i thought i was sure but wasnt. i added a new 120 gig hard drive so i removed /var/ftp and i edited passwd and master.passwd and changed /var/ftp to /mirror/ftp ran that command, i botched up, and finally i went in /stand/sysinstall chose to enable anonymous ftp, told it to use /mirror/ftp mirror being the new drive.
