The STOR command is the FTP command lingo for "put".  When the client
does a "put", it sends the server a "STOR" command.  It looks like the
transfer occurred, but the destination directory wasn't writable by
the FTP server.  Double check the permissions on the destination 
directory and make sure user "nobody" can write to it, since that's
who you've told ProFTPD to run as.
