Dave,

seems to me that your ftp transfer specifies an MPE target file of type binary, but
does not use binary transfer mode (and thus there is some inappropriate conversion
resulting in the "truncated" warning).

Does it make a difference to use the following ftp sequence?
  ftp> binary
  ftp> put ...
  ftp> ascii
  ftp> put ...

Binary transfer mode is not the same as specifying a binary MPE target file type.

Lars.
