"Can't build data connection" means it can't start the data (second stage) of the ftp. (See the active vs passive explanation link I posted).
Why can't you take down the firewall on that client? Does it give you an error (eg, permission denied) or do you need to be given the steps.
No guarantees but I reckon the firewall could be the problem and if I were you I'd definitely need to eliminate it from the investigation.

I just took down the firewall on a Windows 7 client that I have here and this is exactly how I did it. I'm not saying that this will work for you but post any error that you get.
Start > Control Panel
Click on the actual words "Network and Internet"
Click on "System and security" in the left column
Click on the actual words "Windows firewall"
Click on "Turn Windows firewall on or off" in the left column
Set any/all firewall options to "off"
Click OK
Obviously this is just for testing purposes.

And for the record, what AV are you using?

fwb_pix
fwb_pix(1) Firewall Builder fwb_pix(1)
NAME
fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco PIX
SYNOPSIS
fwb_pix -fdata_file.xml [-V] [-dwdir] [-i] [-v] [-xc] [-xt] object_name
DESCRIPTION
fwb_pix is firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall
description from the data file specified with "-f" option and generates resultant Cisco PIX configuration file. The configuration is writ-
ten to the file with the name the same as the name of the firewall object, plus extension ".fw".
The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.
OPTIONS
-f FILE
Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
-d wdir
Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with PIX configuration in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then PIX
configuration will be placed in the current working directory.
-v Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.
-V Print version number and quit.
-i When this option is present, the last argument on the command line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name
-xc When output file name is determined automatically (i.e. flags -o or -O are not present), the file name is composed of the cluster
name and member firewall name rather than just member firewall name. This is used mostly for testing when the same member firewall
object can be a part of different clusters with different configurations.
-xt This flag makes compiler treat all fatal errors as warnings and continue processing rules. Generated configuration script most
likely will be incorrect but will include error message as a comment; this flag is used for testing and debugging.
