nasu:
What probably happened is that your firewire drive failed and "fell off the bus", and when this happened SuperDuper! wasn't told by the OS about the problem. We kept copying to the "mount point" (which looks like a folder), but that was then on your main system.
So, here's what to do. Reboot with the drive *not* attached. Then, use the "Go to folder" command in Finder to go to the "/Volumes" folder.
In there, you'll probably see a folder named the same as the backup drive (again -- make SURE the backup drive isn't attached). That's what's taking up the space.
Erase this folder and empty your trash, and the space should be back. Then, try the backup again.
