I did some research, and the ip_masq_ftp.o module is automatically compiled when CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MOD is selected during kernel config. I already have it selected, and the file is in my modules directory. And like I mentioned previously, I've tried changing the passive settings on the ftp clients.
I re-read the IP Masq howto at http://ipmasq.cjb.net and I had included everything I needed to have in the kernel. I had compiled everything into the kernel, with nothing compiled as modules - that shouldn't hurt, should it? There were a few items that I don't have which were shown at that web site. They put a lot of settings in the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall file on a RedHat system. Where would I put that in my potato system, in case some of those settings help? Here's what my problem is (for those just joining): I have IP Masqing set up on a potato system, and everything works through it except ftp. The ftp clients on machines on the private network connect to external sites, but never are able to get a listing of the files or even retrieve files from those systems.
