Please report the version of Midnight Commander next time.  It's very
annoying to see people assuming that all versions of MC have exactly the
same bugs, so that the version doesn't matter.  Be assured that the bugs
get fixed and the version does matter.

I could reproduce your problem with the CVS version of MC.  Indeed, using
the "-l" option I could see that every time when an FTP directory is read
MC reads the directory two levels above unless it's already cached.

This appears to be a bug in ftpfs.

Fix the bug or wait until somebody else does it.
