That was the hint I needed. It's /bin/bash, which reminded me I
just changed something
in .bashrc which outputs a message and does some other stuff which
must be
confusing scp. In fact, I just confirmed that by commenting it
out. Now scp works too.
So: PROBLEM SOLVED.
Now I just have to figure out how to tailor it some more so the
offending code is skipped
for 'scp'. That I can do.
bash has a built-in variable that tells you what the command
was....should be able to test for "scp" in your script.... i've
never tried to get that fancy with .bashrc.
