The only thing I can think of is from a specific ftpd - wu-ftpd allows setting up the configuration so that if a user's home directory is /export/home/user, then while an ftp session is running, that is / to that process. It can't see or get to anything above /export/home/user.
I'm sure other ftp daemons could do the same if configured.
What is the OS and version? What ftpd are you running on the different servers?
