That tells you what's wrong. Use ID 502 will be the user "postgres", most likely.

It works from your user account because you'll be running it under your own user ID. If you ran it from the "postgres" user ID using:

   sudo -u postgres /usr/bin/scp ......

it'd probably fail the same way.

Make sure you can successfully scp from the postgres user account and you should be fine. This may require accepting an interactive prompt about an unknown host key or manually adding the target server to the $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts file of the postgres user account. You may also have to add any SSH private keys required to the postgres account's .ssh directory.
