As I believe was suggested by someone when you asked about this a few days ago, the space that you have after the colon:
scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105: /home/m...
is the source of your problem. I just tested and confirmed it.
When transferring files between machines I use this (in a BASH file)
scp -P 12345 -p $file aaa.example.com://$file
Note the colon and 2 slashes.
