SCP script

Hi all,
I am trying to write a script that will run under cron and scp a file
from one server to another at night. I can run this command manually
just fine and it works:
scp root at server1:/path_to_file /path_to_file_on_server2
But when I put it in an expect script, it looks like it is launching
scp, but it never prompts for a password and just hangs there. Here is
the expect script:
send " scp root at server1:/path_to_file /path_to_file_on_server2r"
expect "root at server1's password:"
send "passwordr"
Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.
Brad
