Hmm.... actually, a got suggestion in this case would be to chroot to the 
directory yourself and make sure that the chroot works.

But, if you aren't getting any additional SCP logging when debuglevel is 
setup, then chances are that you aren't even making it to that step. 
Similarly, your error message in auth log indicates that you aren't making it 
to that stage.

Strace will tell you whether or not you're making it into scponly code or not.

# strace -o mylogfile.log -f -p PID1 -p PID2

I use the above commandline to find out what's going on with ssh problems, 
where PID1 and PID2 and the privilege separation PIDs of my connection.
