Copy error?  No bang.

On a side note, if you don't need bash, consider using sh instead.  It's 
smaller, and has the -e argument to immediately fail on the first error, 
which is often the desired behavior.  Especially on longer scripts.

#!/bin/sh -e

scp $1 ...

Scott mentioned checking $2.  Another tidbit: $* expands to all 
commandline arguments.

As to your actual question, however, I don't use motion (yet), but my 
$0.02 says the error is within the motion program or configuration.

Good luck,

Kevin
