Nope, I don't get why this is a problem - unless PHP can't access the images
becuase the FTPd is also set to save files 0600 (is chmod in ftp disabled
too?).

Sounds like the problem is the permissions with the ftpd which you're trying
to fix from PHP.
quick suggestions:
1) upload the file using HTTP (ftp is just BAD anyway)
2) upload the file to a temporary area using ftp then have you PHP file scan
the area for new files and copy them (with the permissions of the
webserver) to the 'live' area.
