I sent the logs a while ago. But have also since enabled SSH and had a look at what is happening.
When Anonymous is selected the following is in the proftpd.conf
Include /etc/frontview/proftpd/ftps.conf
Include /etc/frontview/proftpd/Anonymous.conf
Include /etc/frontview/proftpd/User.conf
When user is selected it changes to the following
Include /etc/frontview/proftpd/ftps.conf
Include /etc/frontview/proftpd/Anonymous.conf
So instead of replacing the "Anonymous" line with "users" is seems to just be adding and removing the "users" line, thus the the Anomyous config still applies.
Anyway I have fixed it manually. Lets hope it is not happening to anyone else with a NAS attached to the internet.
