Maybe try unticking the box:
Change data IP according to client source IP
in the Secure Options settings.

I just had the vendor check their Gene6 server config.
They have the public IP in the Redirect PASV IP
box but the server is still handing out the private
it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

The Gene6 Secure FTP server that your customer is using has a place to
set up the real IP address of the NAT connection. In the IP Binding
section of the admin console under the passive mode setup there is a
box labelled Redirect PASV IP. This is the "IP or hostname for Passive
mode when the FTP server is behind a firewall".
The server isn't broken, it just hasn't been configured properly. If
they add the address 66.161.40.76 into that box everything will work.
