.ssh/: Is a directory

[Zeffie]

I'm depending on scp to create the .ssh directory (which is does) but it
can't use the directory it just created in the current session thus the
"error" message.  I would like to run the command just once if possible :)
Is it possible I could get a patch if this is changed?
