Did you compile scponly from source or are you using the Debian package?

Is the scponlyc binary setuid root on your system?
Does it work when you use, for example FileZilla[1]?

Can you increase the logging on both client and server to help you? Turn
on debugging mode in scponly (toggled on/off from a file - documentation
should tell you exactly).

Of course, you can try logging in via a UNIX machine and using "sftp
-vv ..." for extra verbose mode.
