The Solaris scp man page doesn't have a -f flag either.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0210/6m6nb7mkm?a=view
I ran scp from the client side with the verbose flag and i got:

==============================
> scp -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]:a.txt .
....
debug1: send channel open 0
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: ssh_session2_setup: id 0
debug1: Sending command: scp -v -f a.txt
debug1: channel request 0: exec
debug1: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768

This account is restricted by rssh.
Allowed commands: scp sftp

If you believe this is in error, please contact your system administrator.

debug1: channel 0: rcvd eof
....

This is an uneducated guess, but I note that scp on my system (Debian
Lenny) doesn't even have a '-f' option listed in the manpage - is rssh parsing the options passed to scp and rejecting that as something unknown and therefore dangerous?
