I did that, but the downside is that the user still has all the "other" permissions, i.e. when the new user navigates the web folder to the directory they're going to they can view the files in those directories (specifically the config.php type files with database passwords).

So I'd like to jail the user to one specific directory.

vsftpd mentions something called virtual users, that might be what I'm looking for (a user not really in the OS, but one that has access to just one directory).

I'll have some time to actually work on it later tonight, I might post again then.
