pf headaches: why won' t it let me fetch from ftp servers?

[Gary Gatten]

I'm not all that familiar with pf syntax, but you know ftp uses ports above 1023 right?  Is pf "stateful" by default so it can allow the ports above 1023?  Also, make sure you're using passive (PASV) ftp.

Subject: pf headaches: why won' t it let me fetch from ftp servers?

Dear freebsd list,
I have the following pf.conf file:
tcp_services = "{ ftp, ssh, domain, www, auth, https }"
udp_services = "{ ftp, domain, ntp }"
icmp_types   = "echoreq"
block all
pass inet proto icmp all icmp-type $icmp_types keep state
#pass in proto tcp to any port 22 keep state
pass out proto tcp to any port $tcp_services keep state
#pass out proto tcp to any port 25 keep state
#pass out proto tcp to any port 465 keep state
#pass out proto tcp to any port 587 keep state
pass out proto tcp to any port 5999 keep state
#pass out all keep state
#pass out proto tcp to any keep state
pass out proto udp to any port $udp_services

However,if I try to fetch a file from a ftp server as in the followining example:fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/bash/FAQ
I get the result: Operation not permitted
My first question is: What is causing this? If I stop pf, then I' m able to fetch it. 
My second question is:Is my ruleset looking fine, as i want to block everything and only let some specific services go out. Or need t be tightened more?
