This means the remote ftp server could not create the file.

You could log in to the ftp with a client manually and try to upload a file, see if it is possible. If so, try to upload a file named exactly the same, e.g. myuser.tar.gz (the real name of course).

Maybe try to use ncftpput as well to see if that works

Code: 
/usr/bin/ncftpput -t 25 -m -u "username" -p "password" "server.ip" "/path" "file.tar.gz"

Your remote path is wrong then if you get failed to change directory.
 
It's odd, but it may be that your ftp server simply doesn't do what most ftp servers do.

You could debug around in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/ftp_list.php (it seems it gets stuck there now)

It may be easier to try a different ftp server. Or update vsftpd, as I see you are running an old version.
 
It could be the fact that its already chrooted into /home/user and it has no where to go. Make the remote path . or make an actual folder like backups or something.

this has hit me before, using /backups or any name (I did have issues with _ in name) worked for me. not positive but I think I had to leave trailing slash off, remember had to mess with it just cannot remember if I left it (the /) on or off.
 
I just checked my notes. Using the admin reseller backup solution you do need to leave off the trailing slash.
