Hi,

I gave up the ftp-proxy thing - all I need is to comment out the first 
line in /etc/ipnat.conf:
#map xennet1 10.0.0.0/24 -> xx.xx.xx.xx/32 proxy port ftp ftp/tcp
map xennet1 10.0.0.0/24 -> xx.xx.xx.xx/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:20000
map xennet1 10.0.0.0/24 -> xx.xx.xx.xx/32

and then I am able to do passive ftp without problems. The ftp-proxy 
solution is too complex for my needs.

Thanks,
