Before connecting, can you add:

    FTPClient.debug = True

Then we can see a full transcript of what's going on.

Right.  LIST requires a data connection to be established, and directly
issuing a LIST without arranging for a PASV or PORT command and associated
connection will fail.

Can you retry this with latest Twisted from SVN?  There's a bug in error
reporting and DeferredLists here that's been fixed in SVN that will make
this much clearer.

I don't understand why you're passing ' status ' instead of just 'status',
though.
