The whole disk structure shouldn't be corrupt, though - hopefully you won't run into any other problems along the way.

Well, after deleting the offending man page file, and subsequently doing an archive and install of my existing 10.3.9 OS to correct another startup problem I am back again trying to clone, and failing again. I would have thought that a clean OS would have made this easier.

I have now been forced to "ditto" a file called "/System Folder/Control Strip Modules/SpeakableItems Strip" and have tried unsuccessfully to ditto a file called "/System Folder/ColorSync Profiles/Color LW 12:660 PS Profile." I have since removed it, wagering that I will not need it anytime soon.

There are more than 40,000 files in OS X. At this rate it feels like it's going to take me 6 months to get a completed clone.
