It will be really hard to debug "server not found in Kerberos
database" if you are trying to redact the "<destination server>"
that you are trying to use.
It also looks like (from src/appl/gss-sample/README in the source
tree) that you should only expect things to work properly if the
remote end is running an actual "gss-server" binary (that is, a
GSS-enabled sftp server will choke on the input that gss-client
sends). But it seems that your errors are occuring before that
stage.
