Oh, you wanted to allow traceroutes in? Someone else posted the rules
to allow it in and also mentioned that it is a really big hole to put
in the firewall. But to review, you basically just need to allow the
same stuff in the other direction.

Your ftp-data connections is being denied. FTP is a ugly, ugly
protocol for firewalls since it uses two channels, i.e. two completely
independent TCP connections. That looks like a failure of an
data-connetion initiated with a PORT command. Use passive (PASV)
FTP. It should work fine.
