Random thoughts.
1) Error in the first sector? Try "dd if=/dev/sdh | hd | less" - this 
will show you the first sector's contents. Then try on the destination 
drive.
2) OS hasn't reloaded the partition information? Try partprobe, or 
rebooting.
3) What does fdisk -l /dev/sdb give?
4) I have had bad results with the source (failing) drive connected via 
USB. Errors seemed to get lost in the system and the destination drive 
ended up full of repeated junk. Trying again with source on IDE/SATA 
worked very well.

Yes, a very bad thing, but I guess you knew that!
