You are overdoing usage of root.
Bad, bad, bad boy, sooner or later you'll pay for it... 


> Offending ECDSA key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:1
The identification of your remote host changed, critical if you don't know 
the remote box, trivial in your case because you control both.
Solution?
Remove the line:
sed -i 1d /root/.ssh/known_hosts
Again, bad practice as root. 

You should:
sudo chown bmike1. /home/xbmc/pictures/weddingdress4.jpg (the DOT(.) after 
bmike1 matters!)
And then scp your thing.
