I can recreate the same stacktrace you see, against my directory on 
teraport. The below change makes it go away for me.

Get a clean fresh source tree, then:

 $ cd cog
 $ wget http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/~benc/tmp/ftpbug-1.patch
 $ patch -p1 < ftpbug-1.patch
 $ ant redist

And try that.

Probably you should keep a copy of your source tree before applying the 
patch so that you can easily get rid of it.
