Thanks for these 3rd party hacks! I don't trust them.
There must be such feature in openssh out of box.

So the most secure/easyer method of giving sftp access to porn collection is:
Damiens sftp-server chroot patch, which I hope to see in openssh one day :)

# useradd -d /data/p0rn -m share

/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Match user share
      X11Forwarding no
      AllowTCPForwarding no
      ForceCommand /usr/libexec/sftp-server -C %d

pkill sshd; /usr/sbin/sshd
and done :)
