Unable to install Bootcamp after re-clone of Snow Leopard

So, I started installing Boot Camp on my 10.6.1 Macbook and got the message that I had un-movable files and that Boot Camp could not re-partition my drive. So, what better way (free) to defrag than to restore from SuperDuper image right?

So, I booted from my FW drive, re-partitioned my Macbook drive (220G for OS X, 20G empty for BootCamp). I then re-cloned my drive from last nights backup.

Rebooted, all appeared OK. I did have to run: sudo update_dyld_shared_cache as iTerm was giving me issues and there were errors in the log.

Then I tried to install Bootcamp again, and didn't get as far as I got before the clone and received this error: Boot Camp assistant cannot be used. You must update your system software before using this setup assistant.

So I tried resetting my pram and re-installing 10.6.1 update, and still no luck. The fact that this worked prior to the clone makes me wonder if anything fishy happened when the hard drive was re-cloned.

Thanks,
Brian
