Failed to restore partition image file

I'm using the clonezilla included in Partition Magic 4.3. I'm trying to move data from 2 SCSI disks on an old computer to 2 new partitions on a SATA drive on a newer computer, and so far no joy. My first attempt failed, then whacked my MBR. My second and third attempt used -t option. Both disks were NTFS, and I created partitions on my SATA disk using gparted.
Below is the output from one session, the other is similar. I have a hard time believing that both backups are corrupt. Any clues?

OK, let's do it!!

The grub directory is NOT found. Maybe it does not exist (so other boot manager exists) or the file system is not supported in the kernel. Skip running grub-install.

The NTFS boot partition is NOT found or not among the restored partition(s). Skip running partclone.ntfsfixboot.

Could you please run:
find /home/partimag/2009-07-27-18-scrappy-sda -print
after NFS is mounted, then post the results ?
BTW, maybe you can try the Clonezilla live downloaded from clonezilla.org, to see if any difference ?
