Is the AFS client cache large enough to hold the files? If not, when the cache fills the client has to find and flush dirty buffers to the file server before the file is closed. The problem is with the scp client not waiting for space to be made to receive more of the file. You might want to turn off storebehind mode so that dirty buffers are written to the file server as they are received.
