Looking at the ftp server log (proftpd), I see that instead of my user
name curftpfs (by means of curl) sends each time different URL parts. For example:

Of course it gives access denied message almost every time I try to read
files from ftp.

Going back to curl 7.17.0 solves the problem. So it's new curl version
bug.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it seems that I forgot to mention, that my login/password pair is in ~/.netrc file. Sorry :(

Here is a properly working (curl 7.17.0) curlftpfs mount command (.netrc the same of course)
denis@dencomp ~ $ curlftpfs -v ftp://192.168.0.254 /mnt/ftp/linux-mvs/ -o gid=1007
