The ssh binary doesn't need to be found when you ssh in, and your path when
you ssh in and get a shell is not necessarily the same as when you do an
scp. Try doing
ssh remote_box type scp
presuming that the remot box is running a shell which understands type -
otherwise substitute which or whatever remote command is appropriate. If you
don't get something like scp is /usr/bin/scp but instead get something
like bash: type: scp: not found then you've found the problem, otherwise
I'm stumped :-) pending further information.
