It works if I change to the non-chrooted binary so I doubt it's the shell
(am I wrong?).

Perms:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 55079 Apr 1 09:31 /usr/sbin/scponlyc

Which log file would show the errors?  I didn't see anything in messages
or debug or anything new in auth.log.  Nothing new showed on the client
side.

Well again it works when I use the non-chrooted binary.  Would you strace
the server, the client, or both?

Have you ever lied, no matter the color?  I have.  Have you ever stolen
anything, no matter the value?  I have.  Have you ever lusted?  I have. 
Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lustful intent has already
committed adultery with her in his heart.

We are lying, thieving, adulterers at heart and will face judgement one day.

There is good news for us!  "God shows his love for us in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Since, therefore, we have now
been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the
wrath of God." (Romans 5:8,9)
