it seems the camera is trying (and failing) to create a subdirectory in
my home directory instead of doing what it used to-just write to the
directory I told it to in its settings.  That directory, by the way is a
USB-connected hard drive mounted in the /media directory.

cd ~
ln -s /media/my_hd/cam_files ~/whateverCanonWants

Or add
local_root=/media/my_hd/cam_files

to /etc/vsftpd.conf

which makes / in the FTP server be that path.
(maybe also anon_root if the camera uses anonymous mode, which I doubt)
