It turns out the problem I was having was a result of misconfiguration on
the VMS side. Commands using syntax like the following to do the rcp
should work-

rcp unixfile vmsuser_at_vmshost:vmsfile
rcp localfile host2:"sys\$manager:[local]foo.txt" (using sh shell)

On the VMS side I needed to put the following in my login.com file (since
something in the file was interfering with the rcp).
At the top-
$ VERIFY := 'F$VERIFY(0)'
$ IF F$MODE() .EQS. "OTHER" THEN EXIT
At the bottom-
$ IF VERIFY THEN SET VERIFY

Also needed to do this in the VMS system's syslogin file.
