i cannot confirm this. first, scp://somebody@host/users/whatever/dir/ 
builds directories in ~somebody, and this works fine in my tests. 

please check: what are user's perms on his homedir? does user's 
homedir exist?

second, if i change that to scp://somebody@host//users/whatever/dir/ then 
i get  directories created in /users/whatever, and my tests show that 
again it works fine, without having any access privs on /users (but of 
course normal privs on /users/whatever/). 

in order to debug this further i need: the full output of a -v9 run, 
and the output of ls -laR of /users/ and ~user on your targetbox.

regards
az
