I'm not sure about vsftp but most ftp servers I've used require that a user have a valid shell to be allowed to ftp. The shell's absolute path must appear in /etc/shells. You could add /sbin/nologin to /etc/shells and it should fix your problem.
To keep a user in the home directory, however, you need to run the session chrooted as someone else has already pointed out.
