Wonderful point Alan! It's a shame that you never mentioned this before.
In keeping with the current season... Ho, Ho, Ho!!! ;-)
The "PROFILE EXEC" on z/VM 5.3's FTPSERVE begins with (apparently no
changes were needed since z/VM 5.1):
/**********************************************************************/
/* PROFILE EXEC for a TCP/IP server virtual machine. */
/* */
/* *********** DO NOT MODIFY THIS EXEC! ************* */
/* */
/* Status - TCP/IP level 510 for z/VM Version 5, Release 1.0 */
/* */
/* Use a userid, nodeid or SYSTEM DTCPARMS file to modify the startup */
/* process. This exec can be used for any CMS-based TCP/IP server. */
/**********************************************************************/
Perhaps, for z/VM newbies, it might help if just before the closing line
of asterisks there was a pointer added to the appropriate IBM z/VM TCPIP
manual which describes the SYSTEM DTCPARMS file, and which does provide a
":vmlink" example.
Maybe something like (without including changeable pubs numbers):
/* See the "z/VM TCP/IP Planning and Customization" manual for details
about using the SYSTEM DTCPARMS file. */

(ahem) I do believe you have a rather extensive typo, James. You just
suggested that David update the PROFILE EXEC, and I'm quite sure that's
not what you meant. That will be three lashes with a wet noodle. ;-)
You meant to say, rather, that he should update the :VMLink. tag in the
SYSTEM DTCPARMS entry for the FTP server to have it access the disk or
directory he needs, specifying the filemode.
:nick.FTPSERVE :type.server :class.ftp
:vmlink.* 555 <= b>
or
:vmlink..dir filepool:. <= b>
Technically, the FTP server doesn't have to own the disk or directory, but
it's a lot easier and simpler if it does.
