I worked around this problem by doing
ln -s /usr/local/bin/scp /usr/bin
Perhaps not the most elegant fix, since most people probably expect
that when they do a ssh remote execution, they'll get the same PATH
they'd get if they logged in. Dunno how to do that without rereading
the user's profile each time, though.
