The problem was the regional settings/Timezone for the FTP user on the Unix
server.

It has worked fine in jun-sep because the spelling in english and swedish is
the same. This month, October, is shortened "Okt" instead of "Oct" and the
FTP adapter can only parse English dates and the fails to understand the FTP
listing.

Changing to English made it work again. Talk about unlucky cirumstances! If
we had started in May (Maj in Swedish) we had found out directly instead of
four month later!
