The problem is due to 2 things:
1- A weak local hostname configuration
2- Two different ways of obtaining client hostname by part of xftree.

This makes for two different hostnames for your box. "localhost.localdomain" 
and "bethmoora". I just uploaded a fix to the CVS where the problem is now 
avoided by using a single method for obtaining hostname (relying on the 
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE atom). 

Please try the latest CVS. You should experience no scp/rsync attempt within 
the same host. And the window and icon titles should say "bethmoora" instead 
of "localhost.localdomain" (although Rox-2.0 will display the latter, no 
scp/rsync attempt should occur either).

I can't seem to reproduce it. Could you run xftree with gdb and get a 
traceback after the crash I could fix it quickly, i.e.,
$ gdb xftree
gdb> run
[ do the stuff to get the crash ]

Should work properly now, even without a tidy network configuration (which is 
not necesary without a LAN ;-)
