ftp bug in squid 2.0 ?

Hi

I am (still) trying to configure squid 2.0 to retrieve ftp requests from
a parent without success.

The setup is a follows:
browser - firewall with squid A - network - firewall with squid B -
internet
The goal is to get the browser to retrieve ftp from the internet.
The browser can not connect to the internet directly neither can squid A
for security reason.
Letting squid A retrieve ftp via a ftp-gateway on firewall B is
supported by squid 2.0 ?!

The solution should be configuring squid B as a parent of squid A and
directing squid A to
retrieve all ftp requests from squid B.
However when I try to do this squid A gives an error message to the
browser.

Here are the relevant lines from squid.conf of A:
...
cache_peer fw2.xyz.com parent 3128 3130
...
ftp_user anonymous@xyz.com
...
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
acl http_proto proto HTTP
acl ftp_proto proto FTP
...
http_access allow all
...
always_direct allow http_proto
always_direct deny ftp_proto
...
never_direct allow ftp_proto
...

Am I missing something here or does ftp relay simply not work with squid
2.0 ?

Thanks
