1. Ensure the LVS FTP helper is loaded (you have).
2. Make sure that you define (or make a note of) the range of ports 
your FTP server uses for data connections (this varies from server to 
server).
3. Ensure that you will accept traffic to those ports on your director.

I learned this the hard way :-/

If the packets are rejected by netfilter/iptables on the director, the 
FTP helper never sees them so the connections will almost never work.

In your example, the director has dropped the inbound SYN to port 13330, 
thus the data connection will never start.
