What libcurl version?

Further, your output shows the output from two requests, one that first
connects and completes and then the subsequent that fails. Can you show us the
full URLs you used for both requests?

The initial CWD to the "Entry path" happens when libcurl determines that you
don't want to use the same directory as immediately before - and the new path
you've given is relative the entry path. It then switches back first, to then
CWD to the requested directory.

Perhaps you can give us a full example against a public FTP site or something
that repeats the problem?
