luckily in mac land we can fall back to the terminal for a nice bit of unix power... the command dd is the one you need for cloning disks and it is standard on macs, have a bit of a google for dd disk clone osx and find a tutorial that matches your needs, or wait for someone on the group here to advise further...
you might also want to give the other staple mac disk cloning program a go, superduper. I prefer carbon copy cloner myself as you have already tried, I've not used superduper personally but it does the same job.
