Duh... sorry. The reason the dynamic properties are
not cloned, is because the properties are the same
in the source and copies. The way dynamic blocks
work is that the properties that control the insertion's
appearance are stored on the proxy anonymous block
that holds the unique geometry.
So, copying a dynamic block reference does not result
in a copy of the anonymous block definition and the
dynamic properties, it just results in another reference
to the same anonymous block def. If you modify a
property of a copy, then a new anonymous block def
and dynamic properties are created for the modified
dynamic block reference.

Tony, thanks
Apparently you need to create a new database and use wblockcloneobjects to be able to clone the dynamic properties. Did use the block ID also
