A lot of rdiff's efficiences are based on the underlying filesystem, so you have to use a copy strategy that precisely duplicates the respository at a filesystem level. scp may be a little too naive for this purpose, or at least, the default settings are. In any case, rsync -avz has always worked for me in the past when moving respositories.
