This is fixed in Tramp's CVS already (I assume you are using Tramp
2.1.x). The "pscp" entry in `tramp-methods' must look like this:

    ("pscp"  (tramp-login-program        "plink")
             (tramp-login-args           (("%h") ("-l" "%u") ("-P" "%p")
                                          ("-ssh")))
             (tramp-remote-sh            "/bin/sh")
             (tramp-copy-program         "pscp")
             (tramp-copy-args            (("-P") ("%p") ("-scp") ("-p" "%k")))
             (tramp-copy-keep-date       t)
             (tramp-password-end-of-line "xy") ;see docstring for "xy"
             (tramp-default-port         22))

Will be available with Tramp 2.1.14.
