Never heard of that problem,

dd is suppose to make a bit-for-bit copy.

Something might has gotten corrupted.

Next time I would md5sum the files first. (acually I would reccomend you use partimage)

just tack this on the end of the command.

&& cat /dev/hdb2 | md5sum && cat ~/image.img | md5sum

Then compare the resulting string of numbers and letters, if they aren't the same, something went wrong.

Like I said before though, use partimage I learned alittle latter that its better.
