Describes exactly this procedure - which looks like it works there.
hmm strange. I wouldn't expect it to work though I so rarely use scp anymore, rsync is better, and it behaves as I described.
In any case I believe copying directly from the device like that is a bad practice to get into, unless you always plan to have that volume unmounted. You risk considerable data corruption if any data is written to the device while you are reading from it.
