CCC doesn't copy the swap files, which shouldn't be copied anyway.

The vm directory, if it doesn't exist, is created automatically by the 
multi-user startup script /etc/rc. So the warning indicates merely that 
you haven't booted in multi-user mode from "Ext disk 1" yet. I don't 
think there's any reason to worry.
