Exit Status 255, Connection closed in SFTP

I'm trying to connect from Server A to Server B to transfer files from A to B. I'm using NUID A1 in Server A and NUID A2 in Server B. I have done the following the steps to setup password-less login.
1. Add the public key of A1 in A to the Authorized keys of A2 in B.
2. Add the public key of Server A to the Known hosts file of A2 in B.


The following command is used to transfer the files from A to B.
Code:
sftp -vvv -o BatchMode='yes' -b -f SourceDir/File -d Destination_Dir/File UserID Machine_Name
sftp -vvv -o BatchMode='yes' -b -f /var/tmp/fileA.txt -d /var/tmp/fileA.txt A2 ServerB

In this case the UserID is the NUID A2 in ServerB
Machine Name = Server B

Below is the output I get while attempting connection:
Code:
debug1: Connecting to Server B [Server B's IP Address] port 22
debug1: Connection established
debug1: Next Authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering public key: /export/home/A1/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey)
debug1: Exit status 255
Connection closed

Kindly help me in resolving this issue. The NUIDs in both the servers are Non-Interactive (hence no password). However the required keys are added in the corresponding locations and verified. Any help is much appreciated and thanked !!!

NAME
sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] DESCRIPTION
sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer. sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsys- tem declaration. See sshd_config(4) for more information. To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file. There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. OPTIONS
Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these are to be specified in the Subsystem declation of sshd_config. -f log_facility Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH. -l log_level Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equiva- lent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES
