ftp checking still broken - only detects missing files when their directory exists

Bug Description

When we released Ubuntu 8.04 beta, the mirror prober didn't mark any
FTP releases mirrors as failed. AFAICT, this is because squid will
correctly 404 on HEAD for some-dir-that-exists/file-that-doesnt but
returns 200 for a-non-existent-dir/whatever.

I don't think squid is to blame here:

HEAD -p http://squid.internal:3128/ ftp://ftp.uvsq.fr/pub/ubuntu/releases/8.04/MD5SUMS
200 OK

HEAD -p http://squid.internal:3128/ ftp://ftp.uvsq.fr/pub/ubuntu/releases/8.04/MD5SUMS2
404 Not Found

HEAD -p http://squid.internal:3128/ ftp://ftp.uvsq.fr/pub/ubuntu/releases/8.05/MD5SUMS2
404 Not Found

As you see, we get a 404 when the dir doesn't exist as well.
