I'm guessing that you have "enabled VerboseLog" by putting "yes" into 
/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/VerboseLog - this only adds the switch "-d" in 
/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper (at least that's how it works on Debian).

If you change "-d" to "-dd" in /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-wrapper you will also 
be able to log FTP responses -

Maybe also check that the disk where these files are stored is mounted 
with the options "noatime,nodiratime" (or at least with "noatime").
