In past, it use the /dev/sdx method so duplicate blkids would be ok, but now it can be an issue. If you disconnect the SSD drive it would probable work. Option would be to either remove the SSD drive, or change the blkids on it to be different than the nvme drive. Would be interesting to see what blkid reports, but pretty sure it would show same ids between SSD and nvme drives. I've been maintainer of G4L disk imaging project since 2004, so have seen this issue with cloning disks.
