Oh, well, that makes sense then. If root makes the copy, root
owns the copy.  So, you're doing something like this:

# scp foo bar baz somehost:/home/kwall
root at somehost's password: 
foo                                           100%    0     0.0KB/s   00:00    
bar                                           100%    0     0.0KB/s   00:00    
baz                                           100%    0     0.0KB/s   00:00
