This is a known issue which doesn't have an easy solution, as gnome-vfs
wrongly uses numeric UIDs to identify users. See the discussion in the
upstream bug report.

I doubt this has anything to do with nautilus, this looks like a
misconfiguration on the ftp server. You can check this by creating a
folder with another ftp client.
