I had one case where the first error seemed to be passed up correctly and ddrescue saw the bad area, but from then onwards, ddrescue got a copy of the same data, over and over, with no errors being reported. Of course, I thought most of the disk was good and left it running. I now use IDE/SATA and tend to favour direct mode after the first pass.
