Try another approach. You are under Ubuntu, aren't you? I'm also under
Ubuntu and I use mydisk.se. So this should also work for you:

1. sudo apt-get install davfs2

2. sudo adduser enrico davfs (I don't remember if this is really the
   groupname, maybe it's davfs2) 

3. edit the file /etc/fstab -> add a line at the end:
   
   https://mydisk.se/yourusername   /home/enrico/webdav   davfs   user,noauto           0  0

4. edit the file /etc/davfs2/secrets, add the following line:

   /home/enrico/webdav    yourmydiskusername   yourmydiskpasswd

5. mkdir ~/webdav

6. sudo dpkg-reconfigure davfs2 --> set the SUID Bit (i.e. just say "yes")

7. mount ~/webdav

Now, your folders of mydisk.se should appear under ~/webdav. Then tell
Emacs (org-mobile) to use this folder instead of scp. I just used
customize to set the org-mobile-directory.

Change this to "~/webdav" or use "stage" in the procedure above.

I think with the webdav-approach you have to delete these hooks. Comment
them out and restart Emacs.

Good luck
