you are compiling it yourself?
if yes, how about changing the following lines in server.c (starting 
with line 719 in the 1.4.22-version):

if (NULL == (pwd = getpwnam(srv->srvconf.username->ptr))) {
   log_error_write(srv, __FILE__, __LINE__, "sb",
                   "can't find username", srv->srvconf.username);
   return -1;
}

by
inserting
   int errsv = errno;
before
   log_error_write...

and
   log_error_write(srv, __FILE__, __LINE__, "ss",
                   "getpwnam: ", strerror(errsv));
before
   return -1;

this should give you a detailed error-message in your error-log.

if this gives strange errors, try
errno = 0;
before
if (NULL == ...
