Yes, this is probably because you do not have the path for tcsh ( usually 
/usr/local/bin/tcsh) in the /etc/shells file.  FTP checks this file
for "legal" shells when somebody FTP's in.  Just append the path to
the end of /etc/shells and all should be fine.  If not, then it may be
something a wee bit more complicated. :-)
