    you cannot assume that the path for the remote scp is the

    to scp, e.g.:
    	$ scp -X /remote/path/to/scp /etc/passwd otherhost:/etc
    
This is not a good solution if you ever expect there to be multiple remote
hosts in scp's arguments (e.g., scp file at remote1 file2 at remote2).  You need
to tie the path to each remote file-location specification.
