Hmmm. Does the liveusb use udev? You could configure udev to prevent it from creating certain kinds of device nodes. Without those, clonezilla would be unable to use the disk.
For example there's a default rule on my system for USB devices:
You could flip that a bit:
Make sure that rule runs really early, naming the new rule file lower than everything else. 00-customrules perhaps.
I think that would create any non-USB disk or CDROM devices inside /dev/skipme/sd... and cause it to not create the ordinary /dev/sd... device nodes. If clonezilla uses them to detect disks, it won't find non-USB devices.
