ftp permissions for creating directory with proftpd on vfat usb on Pi3

1

2

I have a usb drive attached to my Pi3 with vfat filesystem. I've mounted it in fstab and assigned a uid and gid. I am using pfoftpd to allow storage of files and allow directories to be created. I have several users like user1, user2, etc. I can ssh in and create directories with any of these users. However using ftp I can only create a directory with whichever user I make as uid in fstab. The gid seems to make no difference, no other user can create a directory on this vfat usb. Is there a way to make the entire group be able to create directories, they all can upload files to that directory for some reason though.

Here is my fs tab:

proc            /proc           proc    defaults          0       0
/dev/mmcblk0p6  /boot           vfat    defaults          0       2
/dev/mmcblk0p7  /               ext4    defaults,noatime  0       1
# a swapfile is not a swap partition, no line here
#   use  dphys-swapfile swap[on|off]  for that
/dev/sda1       /media/usbhdd   vfat  auto,nofail,noatime,users,umask=000,uid=camera,gid=ftpusb     0       0

Here are my users that are relevant:

proftpd:x:112:65534::/run/proftpd:/bin/false
ftp:x:113:65534::/srv/ftp:/bin/false
amcrest:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/amcrest:/bin/bash

cam1:x:1004:1005:cam1,,,:/media/usbhdd/cam1:/bin/bash
dnsmasq:x:114:65534:dnsmasq,,,:/var/lib/misc:/bin/false

Here is my permissions for the usb drive:
