Did you unmount all partitions on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb first?
Ubuntu live CDs have a habit of mounting every partition it sees at
startup which will result in a corrupt disk copy.
The above method is how I clone disks, but I do verify the copy
immediately after with something like:
cmp -n <byte-size-output-by-dd-command> /dev/sba /dev/sdb
