OK, I'll try the re-format step (which I did not do on my first few 
attempts).  I know that you can clone between "unlike" machines (e.g. 
cube to powerbook, powerbook to desktop) in OS 10.3.x because I've done 
so before - also with CCC.  Never had to erase / reformat in those 
instances, but I have nothing to loose, so I'll try .........
