A hoard of pink elephants inspired John Banghart <john@future.success.net> to tell linux.redhat.list:
: I set up a guestgroup in /etc/ftpaccess so that my customers can ftp
: into their accounts but can't get out of the ftp directory.  It works
: fine, exept that they can't delete or overwrite already existing files
: even though they own them and the permissions are 755.

Did you check out the wu-ftpd FAQ at http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html? 
It contains references to the guestgroup howto.
Also, check your ftpaccess file for lines like:
delete no guest
overwrite no guest
