One error at a time. This line should have been entered as:
getfile /usr/bin/update sshkit/update
(assuming your iPHUC is already running out of your phonedmg folder)

This command is incomplete, you did not list the file you are 'getting' from your iPhone. You did however list the "to" location correctly because you can get to your folder from the root of your drive following your path.

getfile <missing iPhone path and file> /Users/jasonbeckman/phonedmg/sshkit/update.sh

Syntax error again, you should have typed:
getfile /usr/sbin/update sshkit/update <or where ever you want to save the file>

There is NO "/Users/jasonbeckman..." folder on your iPhone. Correct command. See previous comments for correct syntax examples:
getfile <path/filename-on-iPhone> <space> <foldername/><filename-on-computer>

Keep at and you WILL get it!


Edit: so taken literally the command should read;
get the file update from my iPhone in the /usr/bin folder and save it as update on my computer in the sshkit subfolder
getfile /usr/bin/update sshkit/update

Okay that error means it can't 'get to' /usr/bin/update and if I'm remembering the install scripts for SSH, the 'update' program is located:
/usr/sbin/update
