I don't have the errors now.  But it didn't show up on the debug
screen.  It just returned a message some thing like.  
`Address WHATEVER is not a valid address'

I tried as many combonations as I could think of using both
ftp:// and ftp. syntax  Also tried the sub address with and without a
leading slash like /pub or pub.

Since nothing showed up on the debug screen I'm not sure what was
being rejected.  I'll try it again later today for a better reply.
