Just to clarify, scp, as installed from openssh package, is an executable 
binary _not_ a script.

If you're still having problems with sshd/scp after re-installing openssh like 
Patrick instructed in another response, then you could enter command

type -a scp

in a terminal to see how your shell would interpret scp if used as a command 
name (assuming that bash is your default shell).

It should print something like this (in openSUSE 11.3):

testuser@darkside:~> type -a scp
scp is /usr/bin/scp
scp is /usr/bin/X11/scp

If, on the other hand, you have an scp alias or a script called scp lurking 
somewhere in your shell's PATH, you might see something like this instead:

testuser@darkside:~> type -a scp
scp is aliased to `scp -o passwordprompt'
scp is /home/testuser/bin/scp
scp is /usr/bin/scp
scp is /usr/bin/X11/scp
