There are two possibilities here: 

o /var/www/mobileorg/web is a directory and you are copying the file
  into that directory under the name "afile.txt".

o /var/www/mobileorg is a directory, /var/www/mobileorg/web either
  does not exist or is a file in that directory and you are copying
  the file into the directory /var/www/mobileorg under the name "web".

The directory check *should* catch this case, but you might want to
double check that the "remote" directory
localhost:/var/www/mobileorg/web does indeed exist and is writable
by [myuser].

Also check the permissions on /var/www/mobileorg/web: in particular, you
might want to execute the following check (the check that
org-mobile-create-sumo-agenda does) in your *scratch* buffer:

  (file-writable-p "/scpc:nick@pierrot:/var/www/mobileorg/web/agendas.org")

Just cut and paste it into your *scratch* buffer, put the cursor after
the closing paren and press C-j. If it says nil, something is wrong.

One more thing: is tramp enabled in your emacs? Just try to open the
remote directory with

  C-x C-f /scpc:[user]@localhost:/var/www/mobileorg/web RET

I'm not sure that tramp needs any special attention (I cannot find anything
in my setup), but it doesn't hurt to check.
