When you test ssh, do you get some messages after successful log in?

I think the problem is that scp received those extraneous messages and didn't
know what to do... the solution is cleaning up your .bashrc or whatever is
causing those messages.

What's going on here?

That "running" part shouldn't be there... unless you have specified it in your
~/.ssh/config or some other place I don't know.
