Since # is almost always a shell metacharacter, it's not surprising that
this doesn't work. Try using an alpha sequence, what I usually use is
"xargs -iXXX foo XXX bar".
By the way, if you're absolutely certain that there are no "special"
characters or spaces in any of the filenames, you can also use
scp -options `find . -options` user@host:dir
