Well you said it..... you have boxed them into their own directory and try
to use "ls" that is a symlink to the real "/bin/ls"!!!! All they see is a
"/bin/ls" that is pointing to "/bin/ls"......
This is what I'd do:
cd /home/ftp
tar cf - bin lib | ( cd /the/user's/home/dir && tar xvf - )
This should copy the necessary files for them. Note that this is in
theory, YMMV.
