I've used that combination of sshagent and scp inside a sh command successfully.

You said that the command times out - does the Jenkins machine even have access to the target machine? Is there perhaps a firewall that blocks access?

For getting more information why the scp command failed you can add a -v (=verbose) flag to the scp command.
