What permissions does the FTP daemon use to create files? Take a look in
/etc/proftpd.conf
And find the Umask directive. On my Raq3 the umask is set to:
Umask                           002
Which prevents new files/directories from being group and world
writable, but readable by all.

Do an ls -la on the directory in question from SSH and post the
permissions part of the file, it'll be something like:
-rw-r--r--   1 root     admin
So this one is readable-writabale by owner (who is root),
Readable by the group (admin)   [the second r]
Readable by world (anybody else including the webserver)   [the third r]

Hope this helps towards the problem, it would also be interesting to
know if via SSH logged in as the relevant user whether it makes any
difference as to what they can see/do, i.e. can they delete, overwrite,
rename, or otherwise modify anything in  those new subdirectories?
