Question How to clone multi-partitioned USB?

My friend has a 32GB USB that he wants to duplicate. I have tried cloning it to an identical 32GB USB with Disk Utility (Restore), Carbon Coy Cloner, and SuperDuper, without success. I just can't get anything to recognize the USB as a single volume (with multiple partitions).

Any ideas?
