Bug Description

This is happening every time the backup is run. Whether I run it manually, or it runs automatically.

It starts the backup process, but after a while it stops and shows this error title:
Failed with an unknown error.

With the following message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1411, in <module>
    with_tempdir(main)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1404, in with_tempdir

    restore(col_stats)

Some more info:
 - My backup location is on another internal HDD drive. (I checked every time the backup is running, the HDD was mounted)
 - Data being backed-up is my home folder ( /home/dan ), while some of its subfolders are excluded.
 - /home is on a partition of its own
 - /home partition is on an SSD drive (The SSD drive is split in 2 partitions, second one is / )
 - Using Ubuntu 13.04
