Thanks Jochem, <sigh> I was afraid of this...

Can you recommend a good packetsniffer for windows? I've not been able
to get much utility out of the few I've tried... They've either been
so cryptic that I couldn't figure out how to work them or they didn't
seem to provide enough filtering control. I don't actually administer
the ftp server -- so I'd have to install a copy of it on my machine
and look at it here, though I'm pretty certain it's a free server, I'd
just have to find out from my host where he picked it up.

Though looking at the documentation for the FTP protocol it looks like
errorcode 250 is intended to indicate success, so I suspect whoever
created the ftp server may have muddled the existsDir response in such
a fashion that it returns the returnvalue in both the returnvalue and
succeeded variables. I decided to interpret any 250 response as a
success regardless of the value of cfftp.succeeded. Not sure if that's
the wisest decision.
