I don't know. I have no problems with 'ssh user1 at server1' and 'ssh user1 at server2' or running 'scp user1 at server2:somefilesserver2 tolocationonserver1' after having ssh'ed into server 1.

I just tried 'ssh user1 at server1 'scp user1 at server2:somefilesserver2 tolocationonserver1'' which worked fine suggesting that the configuration is correct.

There seems to be something broken when using scp between two remote locations. Some posts on the 'net suggest using 'scp -3' to do an intermediate copy to the workstation between the two remote servers but that option does not seem to have been implemented yet on scp for Centos 6.7.
