Did you check the log files (daemon or secure) to see if it said anything
about why it failed?  Any number of things can cause wu-ftpd to refuse the
login and give that wonderful catch-all message.
Is the shell the user has in their password listed in /etc/shells?

You may have to up the debug level to find out what it is.
