It shouldn't matter if ~/.profile (or ~/.bash_profile) echos anything. That file
should only be read for a login session.  For scp, ~/.profile shouldn't be read,
and scp should go on happily with life.

Perhaps your setup reads ~/.profile from ~/.bashrc or ~/.kshrc?  If a non-login
session has shell startup files that print anything on stdout or stderr, then
you create problems for scp.
