If you're comfortable with it, you could try disabling pf just long
enough to see if your ftp works without it. If so you could supply
your pf.conf since there have been syntax changes and possibly you
have something outdated in it. If you've got good backups you could
try doing a fresh install on just one box and see what happens. If
the problem goes away you'll know something got screwed up during
the upgrades.
