this was fixed in the CVS code last week AFAIK. look in file libmpdemux/open.c
see line 529 which encases/skips this section you mentioned for ftp protocol
if (strcmp(url->protocol,"ftp")) { //ftp is handled somewhere else
Note: you must enable a large enough cache using the -cache attribute

good luck
