Makes sense if the original clone had been worked on, and the working  
set files changed.
Mercurial does not manage directories, just files. Empty directories  
don't mean much to it.

Try running something like:   hg fstatus -radium
On each forest, that will show you exactly what in the working set  
files are renamed,
added, deleted, ignored, unknown, or modified.

The working set files are not really part of the repository data, just  
a set of read-write
files for you to make changes with, the .hg directories hold the real  
repository data.
