put this in your ftpaccess file :
<<
    guest-root /var/wu-ftp
 >>
this line specify that the home user is in this directory
take care to create the user's home dir (mkdir /var/wu-ftp/toto for the 
toto user)

now, if the user really can't see his file, check the mask
<<
    defumask 006
 >>
or something else (check man umask : 0666 & ~022 = 0644 = rw-r--r-- )
disabling the visibility of files transfered is usefull for anonymous 
connection and this is made with a couple of lines like :
<<
    anonymous-root /var/wu-ftp/ftp
    upload        * /pub/incoming yes     ftpadmin ftpadmin       
0222    nodirs
