Next tried it w/ CCC (v. 2.3, for Panther OS), the error stopped progress again, but this time CCC noted the culprit, unlike DU. It was some bluetooth appl file that "doesn't exist".
I (stupidly) hit the ignore button, the cloning resumed and was supposedly successfully completed.
But I tried opening the newly cloned backup, and it was making some funky cycling sounds that wouldn't stop. Could not repair it w/DU -"Failure on exit. One volume could not be repaired". Guess I should have aborted the cloning when prompted, and trashed the trouble file.
After some tense hung finder moments, I erased that backup partition, the drive then acted healthy again, I vigorously flushed the errant troublemaker file*, repaired perms a couple of times, and tried to backup once again.
Bingo. 3rd (-or 4th, or so) time proves to be the charm.
In this case, CCC was a big help to me (a non-power user) compared w/ DU, which left me w/no backup, or any clues to get there.
* for my future ref, in case I ever actually Need this trashed time-waster: Applications/Utilities/Bluetooth File Exchange.app/contents/resources/Englishlproj/bluetoothHelp/pgs/blu2l.html
