Was there an "Ignore Permissions ..." somewhere in your scheme? from the Disk being copied from? I believe that caused the CCC 3.1.2 to ignore my Permissions in one of my initial attempts in using it. I think it was on the partition containing the OS X Tiger I was cloning ... and all Permissions needed to be repaired ... so I eventually did the clone again, without the box checked in the Get Info window.
