Error while trying to enable permissions on target volume

I recently partitioned me external firewire drive into two partitions. One for backing up my iMac and one for backing up my iBook. I'm just now attempting my first backup to the iMac partition using a registered copy of SuperDuper. The problem is that SuperDuper is hitting an error and aborting when it tries to enable permissions on the target volume. After this happened the first time, I did a "get info" on the target volume (called "iMac Backup") and it did have the ignore permissions option de-selected. I enabled it, closed the info window, opened the info window, and disabled it again. Then I tried the backup again, but it hit the same error. Can you offer some help. I am going to paste in the full log from that backup session.

A little bit of extra info, in case it helps:
1. When I partitioned the drive, I did not have it install OS 9 drivers.
2. The message in the log below, "parent directory ./Users/Shared/SC Info does not exist," does not appear when using Disk Utility to repair permissions.

Thanks.
