I'd agree except for the observation it was still not working when I
turned off the firewall entirely to make sure it was not a firewall problem.
Thanks for the thought though!

VSFTP in active mode calls from a high (>1024) port rather than port
20. This is to allow it to run without root privileges. watch it with
netcat
Sounds like passive FTP not getting through the firewall. Try doing a
'modprobe
ip_conntrack_ftp' on the server, or seeing if you can force your
client to
use
active mode only.
iptables "RELATED" knows about the calling port
