Also check your userlist_* options in vsftpd.conf. If userlist_enable
is YES, then make sure the login name you're using isn't in the
user_list file (or is if userlist_deny=NO). You may want to check the
PAM configuration as well, as it can add another layer, and another
allow/deny list as it does on RHEL systems.
You could also enable the dual_log_enable and syslog_enable options, as
this may give you a bit more feedback in your logs to help get to the
bottom of this.
If all else fails, install/enable sshd and switch from FTP to SFTP. ;-)
