Pointing out the obvious here but have you restarted the vsftpd service?

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd restart
or
# service vsftpd restart

Are the contents of /etc/shells the same on each server? Do the
default shells specified in /etc/passwd for the user match on each
server? And as everyone else pointed out, is there anything in
/var/log/secure or /var/log/messages ?

Will.
