master is not the correct place to upload packages.  If you would read
the motd when you login to master you will get the following:

Linux master 2.2.16 #3 Thu Jun 8 22:08:03 CDT 2000 i686 unknown

Uploads go to ftp-master.debian.org, not here.
** The mail system has changed, please visit http://db.debian.org/forward.html
   for more information
** Incoming has moved to ftp-master.debian.org; please upload there
   or use an upload queue.

Change your dupload.conf the correct directory to upload to is
/org/ftp.debian.org/incoming

Also it is not wise to upload via ftp, as it send your password as
plain text.  Auric (ftp-master) does have a ftpd running, but the best
method is to use scp instead.
