Synopsis: My issue is apparently an SSH/SCP problem, not a maven plugin problem
I tried doing an scp from the command line to localhost and it dies with the same Corrupted MAC on input effect. It appears to me that the invocations of scpexe are the same as for scp. Since I can't seem to locate the source for the various wagons, I don't really know what's happening under the covers but that's irrelevant since the effect happens at the command line with the command line tools outside of maven. Various googlings have presented me with numerous accounts of others tribulations with ssh/scp, especially using intel's e1000 drivers. One thread in particular lead me to http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=845 and http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0502.0/0595.html Apparently this is a common problem and is usually attributed to hardware failure, Linksys routers, and driver issues. I'm my case, the ssh/scp is happening across the local interface, but it's probably my driver. Since this 1U server that I'm running with has a single riser that I can plug a network card into, I'm going to try and replace the network card with something not using intel's e1000 driver.
