Bug Description

I have set up deja-dup (via the Backup system settings module) to ignore two folders which are unreadble by me (/opt/lost+found and /opt/.Trash-0). At the end of each weekly back up I get a warning specifying that these two directories could not be backed up. I expected deja-dup/duplicity to ignore these folders, but it appears duplicity attempted to back them anyway.

Just to add that on my system Deja Dup has issues to take into account the default files & folders to be excluded. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/duplicity/+bug/971665/comments/11
