By Oleg's suggestion I added /etc/passwd and /etc/group but it doesn't make a difference. Seems the WL-HDD runs as UID 0 with no users. Before I start patching vsftpd I wait for your instructions.
You probably already know this, but the stupid-ftpd.conf and other process are probably created from a script similar to /usr/sbin/hdsvr-start script. You understand by reading it that it define after startup the conf file. We could probably change this file from the source to get a new behaviour.
