FTP via LVS: can log in but not 'ls'

Configuration:

RIPE address
+--------------+
| Director svr |
+--------------+
RFC1918 addr
    |
    |
RFC1918 addr
+-------------+
| Real server |
| running FTP |
+-------------+


The Director server has a VIP that offers an FTP connection to the Real
Server. From the outside world, I can ftp to the public VIP and log in
successfully to the ftp server running on the Real Server. If I type
'ls' to the ftp prompt, the session hangs and eventually times out:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful
425 Could not open data connection to port 13330: Connection timed out
ftp>
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On the director server the ip_vs_ftp module is loaded, and its usage
count increments when I start the ftp session:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
# lsmod|grep vs
ip_vs_ftp               6852  1
#
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Director server is running UltraMonkey 3-1um.1; both servers are running
Debian stable with Linux 2.6.15.4 kernel.

A pointer to where to look to resolve this would be appreciated, thanks.
