You also need the following libs in /home/ftp/ls:

maggie:~# ll /home/ftp/lib/
total 802
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     root       164094 Jul  4 20:53 ld-2.0.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           11 Aug 30 21:09 ld-linux.so.2 ->
ld-2.0.7.so
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     root       650904 Jul  4 20:53 libc-2.0.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 Aug 30 21:09 libc.so.6 ->
libc-2.0.7.so

"ldd /bin/ls" shows you the used libs BTW.
