It seems like it could be a bug. Calling *perform() should not be dependent
on if a previous call to it worked fine or not.

Can you show use a protocol dump on this? When you set CURLOPT_VERBOSE to 1?
Or can you single-step into the library when you do the second NLST request
to see more specificly what fails? (There are only two different ftp commands
that can return that error code, USER and CWD.)
