I didn't use /home on the internal drive as the target. I used an external 
drive when mounted is on /media/disk. I don't see a *.iso file. The output 
of the ls command is:

[holtzm@localhost]/media$ ls -alFh disk

The home/ directory is empty (almost):

[holtzm@localhost]/media$ ls -al disk/home/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x+  2 root root 4096 2008-07-10 18:07 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 21 root root 4096 2008-08-10 03:22 ..

If it would be helpful I can wipe the external drive, rerun Clonezilla, 
and record the options I chose.

Thanks for the reply.
