I checked my own vsftpd installation now, what are your 
settings for userlist_deny? The manpage states:

userlist_deny
       This option is examined if userlist_enable is activated. If  you
       set  this  setting to NO, then users will be denied login unless
       they  are  explicitly  listed   in   the   file   specified   by
       userlist_file.   When  login  is  denied,  the  denial is issued
       before the user is asked for a password.

       Default: YES

So I guess you have this set to NO?

Cheerse
Nico
