You know, we've seen this happen before, and I think you'll be quite surprised if you do the following:

- On the original drive, open the Terminal and change to the parent of the directories (and/or file) that you noticed a discrepency with

- First, do n "ls -l". You should see that they're owned by you, with your current group status.

- Now, authenticate with sudo -s. Once authenticated, do an ls -l. What's the ownership now?

Needless to say, SuperDuper! runs authenticated... and, when we're authenticated, we get the owner/group the OS gives us... which seems to track the effective UID in some situations. It's weird and kinda subtle, and took us an age to at least figure out what was going on...
