Cloning a volume to a disk image

[wrldwzrd89]

Hello. I'm trying to clone a stubborn volume that Disk Utility refuses to make a valid disk image of. Every time I try, it complains with one of several error messages, or it creates the image just fine but then won't mount it, saying the image has no mountable file systems or is damaged.

I thought that using CCC (or some other program - any suggestions?) might be able to work around the problem I'm having. Is what I'm trying to do possible?
