/home/yv/.dbus
/home/yv/.gvfs
"

-------
My environment:

$ lsb_release -d

deja-dup 34.2-0ubuntu1.1
duplicity 0.7.06-2ubuntu2

This is bug 1313034, which was apparently fixed in duplicity 0.7.08.

Duplicity 0.7.08 is not in Ubuntu yet but you can get an even more recent version from ppa:duplicity-team/ppa (https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa). Hopefully when it enters Ubuntu it will be backported to the previous Ubuntu releases.

Note that ~/.gvfs is excluded by default (even if it is not in the exclude list), along with ~/.cache, ~/.cache/deja-dup, ~/.Private, ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache, ~/.recent-applications.xbel, ~/.recently-used.xbel, ~/.steam/root, ~/.thumbnails, ~/.xsession-errors, /var/tmp, /tmp, /proc, /run, /sys (file http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~deja-dup-hackers/deja-dup/34/view/head:/libdeja/OperationBackup.vala, function get_always_excluded_dirs).
