I tried user at my.remote.domain already. The situation is same.

Run it from the command prompt no problem but still cron and script  
fails.

And when I ran the script/command, I'm always in /home/auser
But the backup directory is nothing to do with /home/auser directory.
It's in /work/data
remote directory is auser at my.remote.domain:/ftproot/xxxxx

I found if I cd / before ran the script, the errors changed to the  
current directory.
