The & on the rcp command says "run it in the background". the & at the
end of the nohup command says run it in the background as well.
So the nohup submits the rcp to the background and finishes right away
-- correctly for the way you have programmed it.
If you want the nohup to continue until the rcp finishes, remove the &
from the rcp line
