Based on this information my guess of the events is the following:
You're using a version of ssh2 (pre-ssh-2.0.11, I'd gather),
where there is a faulty '-a' option (ie. it doesn't exist). Further,
ssh2 is installed as 'ssh', so scp1 is trying use the faulty ssh2
inplace of ssh1.
Couple of things:
a) Update your ssh2 to ssh-2.0.12.
b) you can give scp1 the path to ssh as parameter, as follows
% scp1 -S /usr/local/bin/ssh1 file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:path/to/things/
HTH.
