First off, I assume that you have tried connecting directly using sftp and verified that the remote server is properly configured to use it? I am especially concerned to see this line in your debug output:

            denmark: Remote protocol version 1.99, ...

Assuming no problems there, it is helpful to look at the code (this is also helpful). The relevant chunk is:

    buffer_put_char(&msg, SSH2_FXP_INIT);
    buffer_put_int(&msg, SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION);
    send_msg(fd_out, &msg);

    buffer_clear(&msg);

    get_msg(fd_in, &msg);

    /* Expecting a VERSION reply */

[download]

Which indicates that it is hanging while waiting for a version response from the remote machine. Again, I have concerns that the remote machine may not be set up correctly. Do you have debugging info from the server? If you cannot touch it to debug, consider testing sftp connections to your local machine. If those work, you then really have to examine the remote server.
