Yes, I tried this yesterday. Using dd to write the image to sdb which was an unmounted/empty disk worked properly. So the problem only happens when overwriting the live system in either Etch or Squeeze. Lenny works exactly as expected so I guess I could try upgrading the remote server from Etch to Lenny and then do it, but it still seems odd that it would not work in Etch, work in Lenny, and then not work again in Squeeze.
