Are you sure your not running into another bob/robert issue? According to the way you have your laptop and desktop setup, you should be issuing your scp commands like:
On the laptop:
scp fileto bob@desktop:/pathtoputfile
or
scp bob@desktop:/filetoget /pathheresomewhere
On the desktop
scp fileto robert@laptop:/pathtoputfile
or
scp robert@laptop:/filetoget /pathheresomewhere
Yes, the mistake I was making with scp was leaving out the user name.
If it were me, I'd, as root on the laptop:
useradd -m bob && cp -a /home/robert /home/bob && find /home/bob -user robert -print0 | xargs -0 chown bob: && cp /var/spool/mail/robert /var/spool/mail/bob && chown bob: /var/spool/mail/bob && userdel -f robert && passwd bob
That's all on one line?
Yes, why waste carriage retuns?... All you have to do at the end is enter your password again ;-)
You mean lose my dual personalities? I'm not sure what my psychiatrist would say about that!
No, no, you wouldn't be able to talk to yourself anymore... But dual personalities are often better handled in /etc/aliases.

PS. Hope you're enjoying your election. The whole world is watching :)
Thank you Bob, Unfortunately it wasn't to be. The local ABC affiliate said it best "Nacogdoches continued its trend as a republican county" All races (except a local constables race) went approximately 2/3 - 1/3 republican to democrat (or worse). We will see what 2012 looks like. The paper summed up the judicial race: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/error/results_420_sentinel.pdf (300K) Live and learn...
