Subject: ssh using shosts works but scp doesn't

I need scp to authenticate via the .shosts in my root directory. So far I 
have ssh working to authenticate but scp for some reason requests a 
passphrase. This is a copy of the output from scp -v to the machine I want to 
authenticate with...

# scp -v somefile somewhere:/tmp > errors.txt
Executing: host somewhere, user (unspecified), command scp -v -t /tmp

lost connection

I don't know what would cause scp to fail where ssh succeeds so any help 
would be great.
