                 scrutinFileFtp = directory + scrutinFile

                 p.expect([pexpect.EOF,pexpect.TIMEOUT])
                 if 'No such file' in p.before:
                         print "No such directory exists!!"
                         sys.exit(1)

I'd guess that you've got your p.expect line wrong -- it looks to me 
like you're allowing that line to complete only upon seeing an EOF or 
TIMEOUT, and that it's timing out as a result.
