failed to enable ownership

I'm running into a problem...

I wanted to transfer my Snow Leopard install to a different drive. I successfully used SD! to clone my startup drive to a different internal drive (that has been in use for quite a while successfully). I had no problem starting (booting) off the new drive.

I then went to backup (clone) using SD! the new drive. Upon starting SD!, I got an error message "failed to enable ownership." Here's the log:

Any thoughts about what this might be due to?

Self-help info below...

I repaired permissions on the new volume and ran into a huge slew of them! (This didn't affect the SD error.) Seemed odd, since I had repaired permissions on the source drive as part of the cloning process. Then, I realized I had used smart backup to clone the source to the target, and the target was a Leopard volume while the source was a Snow Leopard volume. I'm now going to try an erase and copy from the source drive and see if that gets me farther.
