Ok, this one is for the archives.
A how to get ssh/cron working together on FBSD.

1. Make a script
-------------
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$HOME/bin; 

export PATH
zip -r /tmp/file /files/www/data/test
scp /tmp/file.zip user@host:
rm /tmp/file.zip
-------------

2.  Setup ssh for entering password automatically.
-------------
On the server thats sending the file run ssh-keygen, answer any
neccessary questions.
Copy <user>/.ssh/identity.pub to the recieving server.
Move identity.pub on the receiving box to .ssh/authorized_keys.
--------------

3.  Now you should be able to run the script in step 1 and it executes
properly.  Setup cron to execute the script, and youre done...
