Is the .tar.bz2 file created in the FTP dir in-place (e.g. tar cfj
ftp-root/boost-CVS-HEAD.tar.bz2 sourcedir) or is it built first, and
then moved over?

In either case, it might make sense to first move it into the FTP
directory using a temporary name, then rename it only after the file
is complete.  This would be closer to an atomic operation.
