You might want to turn Debug on in FTP to see if you can get more info.
It may be that the server hasn't implemented chgrp.
$ftp->debug(1);

No syntax error here - maybe the debug will help here too.
Another thing you could try is a cd to the proper dir and drop the path
on the chmod.
I would think you're already in /home/cuttsj, so
$ftp->cwd('play');
$ftp->site('chmod 0755 ftp_test.pl');
I avoid paths on FTP whenever possible.

Have you checked the server to see what site commands it honors ?
Connect using ftp and type rhelp or remotehelp (depending on client)
and site (my output to my Linux website server) :
ftp> rhelp site
214-HELP
CHGRP
214 CHMOD

Anything that old should be taken with a grain of salt.

That's PPS and if I were you I'd switch to a decent email client.
