scp cannot successfully copy files with spaces in them. This is easily fixed in 
the attached diff output. I haven't applied the patch myself to the cvs
source
because I'm cvs illiterate :-)

This is a well known misfeature of rcp (which scp is based on) for around 20
years and is well documented. Unfortunately, fixing this would break many
peoples scripts which already include workarounds.

Our plan is to improve sftp to the point where it is a complete replacement for
scp.
