This sounds FUDdy...

(1) "won't defrag" --- SuperDuper does not do a block level copy but file
level, therefore it *will* defrag, unless the filesystem design is broken
(in which case restoring from Time Machine as such will *also* not defrag).
I have seen no evidence of this kind of design flaw in HFS+.

(2) SuperDuper can do a verify and repair permissions before a backup.
Check the backup options.
