Then what about the FTP backend?

Yuck.  If you do that, why not just mount via something like NFS instead??

What?  The plugin is using /tmp?  Why?  Sounds like you configured
something very non-standard.  I can't tell you why it's doing this,
you have to look at your configuration and tell me.  If the files are
not readable, look at permissions and whatnot.  There should also be
read errors if you watch your logs or run the test script or turn on
debug mode.
