parted-1.8.6 also failed when copying the bigger partition (/dev/hde6). It failed with the same error messages, but without the detailed help information. On the contrary to my assumption, the ext3 resizing code of GNU parted is still EXPERIMENTAL, as it warns in interactive mode. I was too quick to file the bug report. Please close it for me.
I am falling back to the good old ways to copy ext3 partitions: 1. When I feel necessary to retain meta information or if the filesystem is almost full, just use dd + resize2fs. 2. "cp -avx source/* destination" or "rsync -avx source/ destination/" 3.
