While this would better go to the gimp-user mailing list, I'll go ahead and clear it up. You're using the clone tool, as a clone tool. To use it as a pattern copy tool, you'll need to double click on that tool and set the option to use a pattern source. If you instead want to use it as a clone tool, you have to hold down Control the first time you click it to set the source location.
