Creating copy of CMSampleBuffer in Swift returns OSStatus -12743 (Invalid Media Format)

I am attempting to perform a deep clone of CMSampleBuffer to store the output of a AVCaptureSession. I am receiving the error kCMSampleBufferError_InvalidMediaFormat (OSStatus -12743) when I run the function CMSampleBufferCreateForImageBuffer. I don't see how I've mismatched the CVImageBuffer and the CMSampleBuffer format description. Anyone know where I've gone wrong? Her is my test code.

func captureOutput(captureOutput: AVCaptureOutput!, didOutputSampleBuffer sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer!, fromConnection connection: AVCaptureConnection!) {

    let allocator: CFAllocator = CFAllocatorGetDefault().takeRetainedValue()

    func cloneImageBuffer(imageBuffer: CVImageBuffer!) -> CVImageBuffer? {
        CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(imageBuffer, 0)
        let bytesPerRow: size_t = CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRow(imageBuffer)
        let width: size_t = CVPixelBufferGetWidth(imageBuffer)
        let height: size_t = CVPixelBufferGetHeight(imageBuffer)
        let baseAddress = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(imageBuffer)
        let pixelFormatType = CVPixelBufferGetPixelFormatType(imageBuffer)

        let data = NSMutableData(bytes: baseAddress, length: bytesPerRow * height)
        CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(imageBuffer, 0)

        var clonedImageBuffer: CVPixelBuffer?
        let refCon = NSMutableData()

        if CVPixelBufferCreateWithBytes(allocator, width, height, pixelFormatType, data.mutableBytes, bytesPerRow, nil, refCon.mutableBytes, nil, &clonedImageBuffer) == noErr {
            return clonedImageBuffer
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }

    if let oldImageBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(sampleBuffer) {
        if let newImageBuffer = cloneImageBuffer(oldImageBuffer) {
            if let formatDescription = CMSampleBufferGetFormatDescription(sampleBuffer) {
                let dataIsReady = CMSampleBufferDataIsReady(sampleBuffer)
                let refCon = NSMutableData()
                var timingInfo: CMSampleTimingInfo = kCMTimingInfoInvalid
                let timingInfoSuccess = CMSampleBufferGetSampleTimingInfo(sampleBuffer, 0, &timingInfo)
                if timingInfoSuccess == noErr {
                    var newSampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer?
                    let success = CMSampleBufferCreateForImageBuffer(allocator, newImageBuffer, dataIsReady, nil, refCon.mutableBytes, formatDescription, &timingInfo, &newSampleBuffer)
                    if success == noErr {
                        bufferArray.append(newSampleBuffer!)
                    } else {
                        NSLog("Failed to create new image buffer. Error: \(success)")
                    }
                } else {
                    NSLog("Failed to get timing info. Error: \(timingInfoSuccess)")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I was able to fix the problem by creating a format description off the newly created image buffer and using it instead of the format description off the original sample buffer. Unfortunately while that fixes the problem here, the format descriptions don't match and causes problem further down.
