FTP to FQDN doesn't work- to IP, it does... question AND solution

I have a 10.6 Server and i just setup FTP services. I am trying to ftp to the server locally. I can ftp to the IP address but I can not FTP to the FQDM. I tried to the ftp to just the domain name even though I thought it wouldn't work...and it did not. I even tried FTPing to the Bonjour .local address. Still no dice.
On the failure cases , I get an authentication dialog followed by a "connecting..." dialog followed by a Connection Failed, " There was an error connection to the server "server.blah.com". Check the server name or IP address, an then try again."
In checking the server logs, Open Directory shows authentication success and as expected, FTP has no further information, since FTP doesn't log login requests. SACL is not a problem since the user is part of an allowed group.
My lookup and reverse lookup match. Cyberduck reports a "Connection refused" error.
Anyone have any trouble shooting ideas?
Well, in the time I spent writing this up and researching the problem, the problem has cleared itself up! Thanks for all your help!

I have the same problem in Mac Book Pro Mid 2010 . But it happens both on the trackpad and mouse. If you want email me at [email protected] to discuss it
