scp just spews usage

[Benjamin Anderson]

I'm pretty sure I've got the command right (it was working before my
last upgrade)

/cygdrive/c/dev/java/apache-solr-1.4.0
$ type scp
scp is hashed (/usr/bin/scp)

/cygdrive/c/dev/java/apache-solr-1.4.0
$ scp build.xml 128.151.244.170:
usage: scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
           [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
           [[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2
