scp host1:file host2:directory ?

I have a machine A which has direct ssh (authorized hosts) permission on
machines B and C.

If I do
scp B:file C:directory
I get a permission denied, while if I do
scp B:file /tmp
scp /tmp/file C:directory
It works like a charm. What is happening? Is scp on A telling scp on B
to directly send to C:? I would expect that command to tell B to send to
A, and then A sends to C. Is this expectation wrong?
