I used the dd command as you mentioned:
.. Afterwards, initially the cloned SanDisk USB wouldn't even boot. So I went to /boot and ran "sh Porteus-installer-for-Linux*"
.. After running that installer, the Porteus login screen would appear (showing boot choices), but upon selection of an option I again get the "Porteus data not found" error.
If the porteus OS was on the key, this means that you need to add a boot loader.
However, as dd command usually copies all the info including boot loader and bootb sector, this seems to mean that the key is not functioning properly.
