Here are the results from the Swedish jury:

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that the PWD is not a problem at all (at least not for a
single-shot operation like this). The problem was simply that you used an
extra set of quuotes wronly. I just managed to upload a very small test file
using your posted test account. (See below for the full output.)

The bad news is that curl is still not perfectly happy about the return codes
from the server, since it seems to be getting them out of synch or something
(check the server response after the STOR command, it is obviously wrong) and
curl eventually exited with an error message even if I believe that the upload
itself succeeded.

Full verbose trace:
