This was working with older version like 1.3.3g on RHEL 6.4.

Because this a legacy application functionality broken.

Any suggestions ?

Does this work as expected, if you (temporarily) disable the mod_vroot module?

I believe this might be the same issue as https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/issues/1325. Would you be able to use a newer ProFTPD version, such as 1.3.8rc3?
