Just to reiterate, this error seems to cause further errors with unable to make
directories/folders on the remote server.  Initial usage of strace really
didn't show too much more.

But I think I see what's happening now, scp is trying to copy "no files or
folders to [email protected]: without specifying a remote folder?  But then SFTP
picksup back up with mkdir on the remote. ...confusing output.

(Due to the overhead of encryption on low-bandwidth, just using
unencrypted for the time being.)
