SuperDuper! schedules using crontab. You can see it by going to your  
Utilities folder and running Terminal. Then enter the following:

crontab -l

This will list the present crontab file which will probably have a  
line or lines at the bottom with SuperDuper in it.

To Save a copy:
  crontab -l > ~/crontab.txt
Which will create a text file in your home folder called crontab.txt.  
You can then edit the file using TextEdit to remove the lines. In fact  
the SuperDuper lines will probably be the only non-blank lines in it.  
Once you done this go back to your terminal window and reinstall the  
corrected/empty file back into crontab by entering the following:
crontab ~/crontab.txt
This should eliminate the scheduling if you are in the same account  
that SuperDuper was origianlly run in.
