Yes: these are normal, critical system folders you definitely want: please don't delete them!

There are a number of folders that Finder hides dynamically, even if they don't have hidden attributes. These three are some (as are /dev, /bin and many others).

Howdy,

Since you can actually boot from the cloned drive it must have everything that is needed by the system. Note: if you do boot from that drive those directories will be dynamically hidden on that drive so it will ``look'' exactly like your original boot drive.

Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
