did you use pip previously to install packages?  (conda won't touch them)

If you have old environments around, I would get rid of those first using conda and pip if appropriate, before you start cloning again

Figured this one out.

Using the conda install that comes with arcpro at C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\scripts

Issue is that it's my work computer and I don't have write privileges to program files. Installed miniconda under c:\users\[username]\local and then did the cloning from there. Worked like a charm. 

Thanks for your help
