That is strange. We had found that FileVault wasn't properly following the link through /Users to the "real" user folder DMG (which -- and I have to say 'as I recall' here, because I have to actually test this again to verify -- it then mounts as .username). This meant that FV volumes didn't work when booted from the Safety Clone.

The change -- to share the contents of users -- resolved this issue because FV properly followed the link "one level down". In addition, it had the benefit of isolating any 'created users' to the Safety Clone, rather than creating them in the /Users folder of the original drive -- especially since the changes to Netinfo done during user creation are isolated on the Safety Clone itself.

When I get back to the office from the show, I'll do some additional tests to try to determine why you're having trouble. If you could send a report to the support address, I'll track that and reply as soon as I return (flying back Friday, will be back to work on Saturday).
