It should work unless even root doesn't have write permissions to the remote path. Try doing the sudo piece manually to see. Put the file on the remote system in some temporary path and then use sudo with the mv command.
Maybe remote into the system itself and try to move something into that remote path to see if the balks at you. Thanks, Marshel Helsper QA/Release Engineer NetProspex Inc.
