Larry - Tx much for your reply... well even if chroot is "faked" (not sure what that means) - I might still be inclined to use it... Unless - is there a way I can LIMIT activity to only "scp"? AND - prevent accessing outside what would be my "jail"? I certainly did miss that very well titled document - no wonder my searches were fruitless!! :-) I'll check to make sure the path is getting set correctly. Although, if I get scp running like I want, then I no longer need/care about resolving this problem....
