Spawned from within glftpd, yes.

It is a fairly configurable ftp-server.
Not my choice of software though, this setup isn't mine.
I have just been asked to create some extra features to the ftp-server.

Exactly.
The users run site commands against glftpd, which in turn runs some Perl
wrappers I wrote, that then create Kermit sessions to perform various operations
at other related ftp-servers.

If I understand you correctly, I need the opposite.
I would need Kermit to look for libraries outside of the "jail" at /glftpd, back
out in /.
Jeffrey informed me that the error message was in fact from the Kerberos
library, not from Kermit, as I thought.
I found a couple of references to the message from Google, and they both suggest
I should re-install an rpm called krb5-libs-x.x.x-x.
But I don't have a problem with it on the system, only inside the jail. :(
One of the references also suggested running ldconfig, which I did inside the
jail, and it found a couple of files it wanted to be symlinks instead, so I
fixed that so it exactly matches the system.
But I still get the same error message. :(
I know this isn't a Kermit problem really, but I'd gladly accept any tips you
can share. :)
