| Check the hide_file setting in vsftpd.conf and make sure it's not hiding them?

| I don't see a hide_file setting in it, what would be the proper code to toss in the config page?

Try setting the variable with something random, restart service and see what happens. If nothing, try another client. What's the filename just out of interest?

Yep - vsftpd uses prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS, 1) to achieve this.
It's necessary because there's little point in reducing your capability
set unless you also switch away from uid 0 (it owns files which could be
used to regain full capabilities).
