I suppose that -b flag stands for : use batch file. but it seems that it's not present with the version that you have installed.

Check the man pages on the system that recognises the "-b" flag and compare it to the man page for the system causing you problems.

How sure are you that you're using openssh and not Sun's own version of ssh? What does ssh -V return? Is it openssh or Sun_ssh? Sun ssh/sftp does not support the -b flag, so this may be what's causing you drama.
