I'm not completely sure what you did, but the normal way you solve is problem is:
forward five ports (X to X+4) to the DUO, using X for the main port and the other X+1 to X+4 for the passive ports.
forward five different ports (Y to Y+4) to the ultra, using Y for the main port and the other Y+1 to Y+4 for the passive ports.
You also need to configure the DUO to use X+1 to X+4 for passive ports, and the ULTRA to use Y+1 to Y+4.
Then specify port X in your ftp client when connecting to the DUO, and port Y in client when connecting to the ULTRA
