What is the path to the "FTP users" directory?  If it's not a web directory
it won't work.

Unless you turn off CGIWrap, I don't think you can run CGI from a user
directory.  And I'm not even sure if it's possible *if* you bypass CGIWrap.

I don't think this is worth $100, but I hope you get it working.  With
CGIWrap, you can't execute a CGI as user "httpd".  The CGI needs to be owned
by a privileged user - which should mean a valid site user.
