We had a similar problem with scp if I remember right. The problem was the
remote server where a message was echoed during login with ssh (some echo
stuff in the .profile or something like this). It seemed to be that scp got
this echo-message too and then failed to operate. After removing the echo
commands everything worked fine.
Note: I may be wrong, its long time ago.
