ownership strangeness

I’ve been experiencing problems with PureFTPd, the problem being that it is authenticating, but the users don’t have permission to upload to their home directories.

When ssh-ing to the machine as root his home directory looks like this:

drwx------    9 hlynur  staff    306 Oct 24 10:52 Desktop
drwx------    8 hlynur  staff    272 Nov 29 10:43 Documents
drwx------   25 hlynur  staff    850 Oct 24 10:52 Library
drwx------    5 hlynur  staff    170 Oct 24 10:52 Movies
drwx------    3 hlynur  staff    102 Jan  8  2004 Music
drwx------    3 hlynur  staff    102 Jan  8  2004 Pictures
drwxr-xr-x    4 hlynur  staff    136 Oct 24 10:52 Public
drwxr-xr-x   25 hlynur  staff    850 Nov 19 09:29 Sites

but when I ssh as him it looks like this:

d---------    9 root  staff    264 Oct 24 10:52 Desktop
d---------    8 root  staff    264 Nov 29 10:43 Documents
d---------   25 root  staff    806 Oct 24 10:52 Library
d---------    5 root  staff    264 Oct 24 10:52 Movies
d---------    3 root  staff    264 Jan  8  2004 Music
d---------    3 root  staff    264 Jan  8  2004 Pictures
dr-xr-xr-x    4 root  staff    264 Oct 24 10:52 Public
dr-xr-xr-x   25 root  staff    806 Nov 19 09:29 Sites

So basically when the user logs in with his own username and password either via FTP or SSH he gets this error. Not a single one of the 200+ users works correctly. Do you have any ideas?
