IPS / Snort -> False positive

Hi there

I'm running 7.5.02 with the latest up2date.
I do have IPS enabled.

One of my servers in the internet is using the FTP Space behind the Astaro for backup. The FTP (Pro-FTPd) is running on a Thecus N5200Pro, I setup DNAT and PF Rules.
Basically everything is running fine, but IPS is logging the following for every package (the backup comes in in 5 MB Packages):

Message........: FTP MDTM overflow attempt

Details........: www.snort.org/.../sigs.cgi
Time...........: 2010:01:16-09:29:36
Packet dropped.: yes
Priority.......: 1 (high)
Classification.: Attempted Administrator Privilege Gain
IP protocol....: 6 (TCP)


Signature 2546 "should" be for "Serv-U FTP" Server only.

I'm using ftplicity / duplicity on my server. As the packet seems be get dropped, I doubt my backup is consistent.

Anyone seen something similar?

Thanks


Andre
