Have just built a Lion system volume from scratch and am in the process of adding 'third party' applications, such as CCC.
I notice no means/mechanism for copying/transferring the Scheduled Tasks from 'old' to 'new' system volume.
Considering the tedious nature of creating a Scheduled Task for 'cloning' a single sub-folder (and exclude all other folders),
the addition of a feature to CCC to facilitate the exporting and importing of Scheduled Tasks would be appreciated.

    CCC's volume identification procedures are generally too restrictive to make this practical. Your source volume, for example, has a new unique identifier, so CCC would refuse to use that volume as the source to a task that was configured with a different source volume. I'm working towards task configurations that will be flexible enough to allow you to re-identify the source and destination volumes, and when I get there, this kind of functionality will be more practical. I'll reconsider adding this functionality then.

    Thanks for the suggestion,
    Mike
