Is the Solaris box running openssh too?  Or might it be running the 
commercial version?  If so you have a compatibility problem. The
workaround is to:

  scp -r  files_director/ userx at machine1:/home/
  ssh solaris_box 'scp -r /home/ files_director/'
 
So your using the remote command execution of ssh to do the scp from the
solaris box.
