Thanks David. I may have got confused and will check more carefully next time. After each clone update i do boot the external drive and check it before rebooting back to the internal drive.

Would the fact that I do a Safe Boot on the source drive, as SD recommends, before doing the Smart Update invalidate the Spotlight index?
