Scripts are supposed to use .ioFTPD.* files (ie. .ioFTPD.message) that are always hidden in LIST/STAT -l.
=> yes hidden but the result (race..etc in *.ioFTPD.message) is visible, and on a pre the real owner is in this file..
If you have a script that creates .message files, you should modify it so it uses .ioFTPD.message files instead.
=> pz-s use *.ioFTPD.message
If the .message files are transferred by another user to your site, install a script like newdir or ZR-Tools to ban those useless files.

If you have better a solution I listen you
But the interest is to preserve these files (*.ioFTPD.message)
Best will be to change the owner directly in this file
