[dundee] Why is Everythin on Linux Such a Ball Ache?

[Gary Short]

Okay guys, I've followed all the links and advice and it still doesn't work.
Here's what I've got:

In the config file are the following settings:
ftp_username=ftp
anon_other_write_enable=YES
anon_world_readable_only=NO
anon_upload_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
anon_root=/srv/ftp

The daemon has started properly.

The tree structure is as follows
/srv/ftp/pub

And permissions are...
drwx------ 3 root root ftp
drwxrwxrwx 2 ftp ftp pub

When I start Filezilla I can connect anonymously but I see "/" not "/pub"
and when I try to create a directory I get:
Status:	Connected
Status:	Creating directory '/new'...
Command:	CWD /
Response:	550 Failed to change directory.
Command:	MKD /new
Response:	550 Create directory operation failed.

When I try to upload I get:
Command:	CWD /
Response:	550 Failed to change directory.
Command:	SIZE /test.txt
Response:	550 Could not get file size.
Command:	TYPE A
Response:	200 Switching to ASCII mode.
Command:	PASV
Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,187,23,252).
Command:	STOR /test.txt
Response:	553 Could not create file.
Error:	Critical file transfer error 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
Gary
