Does the client get 425 errors or do you see "reason bad PORT command" in firewall logs? We have seen this also and solved it by changing the client to use passive FTP. Phoneboy has an article that could be related, http://www.phoneboy.com/faq/0106.hmtl. This did not work for us. Another solution that is discouraged by support for security reasons is to create $FWDIR/conf/aftpd with the line "port_spoof=1". We did not test this as passive worked.
