Did you repair permissions on the source before starting the clone? If possible, did you the erase the destination (meaning ... if there was nothing there that you wanted to keep)? I've had CCC act very strangely when forgetting to do one or the other, with more problems with the latter. I've usually had better luck by making disk images, because they're guaranteed to be clean.
