Is user_b is a real user in the source machine?
If not you could just have the private key in user_a.

User_b doesn't even have to exist in source machine, if you only use it to 
scp.

Given that restriction the only thing I think will work is the suggested 
approach to copy the data somewhere where user_b can see it.
