Bug Description

When restoring (using version 0.6.13), I am being told this:

  Last full backup date: Tue Dec 13 10:46:14 2011

However, that's not the case. That's the last full backup in the primary chain, but there are secondary ones that are older. Fortunately regardless of that output, it looks like Duplicity can see the older backups, and successfully restores from that when asked to (via --restore-time). (However, there's no way of knowing it's worked, other than recognising that the restored output is as old as expected - duplicity says nothing else at all after the above output).

Full collection status corresponding to the above:

Found 1 secondary backup chain.
