You're starting vsftpd in chroot, does this directory exist? Try commenting this line out, does it work then?

pam_service_name=vsftpd
Try disabling this.

I don't really need it to run stand alone is it easier to start it within inetd?
The difference is that running vsftpd standalone means there is always a vsftpd process running. Running it from inetd means that inetd will start a process only when someone tries to connect.
It doesn't matter for your problem.
