>in proftpd.conf have you tried to adding the following...

>UseSendFile                     off

i have found that advise too, but as i mentioned the problem is only with mounted directories, but not with the local filesystem, also i have mentioned that i have tried other ftp servers (glftpd to be specific) and there is also no such option, anyhow that i snot the solution, anyone else? kinda desperate here, thx :)
