Question : rsync/scp fails with ENOTTY problem in a job script to transfer data

Hello, I'm upgrading some linux workstations runnnig fc6 and torque 2.3.1 to fc9 and torque 2.3.3. In order not to overload NFS, when a script starts, it connects to the fileserver via rsync, copies the directory of interest in a scratch space there, and then runs. At the end, with rsync, the results are copied back. All works well with fc6, but in the new machines that I have upgraded rysnc and scp refuse to work. Strace seems suggesting that they crash because they are not run in an interactive shell.

Problem is, on fc6 where working correctly.. So I tried all and I cannot find a solution. Any help? Here are more infos:

relevant part of the pbs script:
######################
export CASEDIR=/ea_users/test/memory_test
export SERVER=diskserver1
copy_data_in_tmp
######################

the copy_data_in_tmp is a bash function that is sourced at login time in /etc/profile.d/
a version with scp instead of rsync is the following:

#####################
copy_data_in_tmp()
{
...bla bla bla...
EXECU=$(whoami)
echo "$EXECU launches the scp -B -r ${AVA}${ORIG} $DEST"
strace scp -B -r ${AVA}${ORIG} $DEST
}
#####################
the log file of pbs gives the attempted command:

scp -r diskserver1:/ea_users/test/memory_test/ /work/test/91/

and the strace is:
###################################

Of course if I launch the command from a terminal, it works..
Any help? I've tried with scp -B or not , rsync without z, etc. etc.
What it really annoys me is that with the previous software stack was working..

Answer : rsync/scp fails with ENOTTY problem in a job script to transfer data

The problem is that ssh tries to allocate a pseudo terminal for possible output.
ssh is the transport used for scp.

Some implementations skip allocating a terminal if the option EscapeChar is set to none
-o 'EscapeChar=none'
Otherwise check how you can pass the -T option (disable- pseudo-tty) to the ssh process.
