Help with scp > to results.file

All
I am setting up a system to move files from one host to another via a
cronscript and scp /ssh . I want it to email me every day with the results of
the job.
Normally I would just redirect into a file like this
/action/to/be/taken > /tmp/file and then mailx "Attention"me at whatever
</tmp/file
but with scp is will not work .. all I get is an empty file. I don't know if
this is a security issue or what. Has anyone else experienced this?

I will summarize Thanx
/sd
