If you are cloning directly to a hard-disk partition, there might (as far as I know) still be some blocks in the buffer cache that have not been written to disk (I assume that your apm command will halt the machine immediately, but I could be wrong).
Alternatively, you could either first issue a "sync" command before halting the machine, or then shutdown the machine by executing the "shutdown" command with the proper arguments (like "-h" or "-P").
