Steven,
I ran Clonezilla with the follwing options:

device-device disk/partition to disk/partition clone

disk_to_local_disk

source sda 320 Gb   (the internal HD)

target sdb 360 Gb   (the external HD)

extra parameters:  default
                    use partition table from source disk

continue   y & y

bootloader to sdb  y

continue  y

When the prog backs up each partition the window header displays
"restore partition from image file". This sounds as if an image 
was created and then deleted during restore. I'm probably 
misinterpreting this. If so, please correct me.

reboot

The result was the same as I have previously described. No /home/partimage
anywhere on either drive. Only individual directories in /media and
/media/disk. The /media/disk/home directory is empty and /media/_home has 
incomplete content with a bunch of files missing according to "diff".

Again, the directories that appeared only were from the Fedora 
installation, nothing from Ubuntu.
