RE: Secure copy (scp) issue

What Chris is saying could make sense if one or more of the parameters are now bigger than they were previously.  You may need to add more spaces.

Original script had one space between the two parameters.  Nothing was truncated.  The single space between scp and the first parameter was left alone, but the space between the parameters was totally removed.
Replacing the single space with 4 spaces had the same result - single space following scp and no space between the two parameters.  Also, nothing truncated or mangled.

It would not insert white space between the parameters so you had to put enough spaces in the line to hold the expanded variables.  Try adding a few more blanks in your script and see if the expanded variables still generate the line all run together.
