It looks like you are using Linux specific stuff in combination with the
Linux kernel
implementation. Is that right?

This list supports the sctplib user land SCTP implementation. So you might
want to
ask this question on the LKSCTP mailing list.

So I guess that the socket is bound to a specific address. Then you wouldn't
see any address in the INIT chunk.
So you might need to change the ftp code...
