This may not help you out but it may help out others in similar situations
as I.

Here are some things I have done for cloning:
I use an IDE to CF adaptor from Mesa Electronics
http://www.mesanet.com/
Part # CFADPT IV (on price list as CFACPT 1) $17
All you do is hook it up like a hard drive (need to get a 4 pin to floppy
style power cable adaptor available at compusa or online).
This allows my PC to see my CF as a HD on my development computer.
Note: I have had some computers not recognize this. Its hit and miss.

For production cloning, I use 2 of the CF to IDE adaptors along with the
following:
http://www.logicube.com/products/hd_duplication/echo.asp
$515 and no PC is required. Plug it in and hit a couple buttons for an
exact clone of CF card. It only takes a couple minutes to clone and it will
clone even EWF partitions. I have been using this for about 10 months now
and we clone all the time for production units. (128,256 and 512 MB CF
cards).
Logicube had a money back guaranty when I asked if it would clone CF cards.

When I want to make a new image, I actually have a pre-formatted CF card
that already has my partitions set up and formatted so I can copy new Pre
FBA image onto it using a USB to CF card reader then FBA it in my target.
The Echo saves me lots of time and does not tie up a computer.

More background on my app:
I use Transcend CF cards (45x) that have been configured as non-removable
I am using the standard EWF mode with EWF partition.
