Try checking the PermitRootLogin setting in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
By default, root is not permitted to login over ssh. This would need
to be enabled on whichever is considered the "remote" machine.

Alternatively, tar it up as root, transfer the tar file as a normal user
and untar on the otherside as root. This can be done as a one-liner if
you're keen.
