Sometimes I get an alternate error message:
Error creating directory /media/
(address of my internal disk is correct)
Problem started last week when I tried to deal with multiple keyring requests that I tried to cull, but must have gotten rid of one too many. Or it is something different.

Hello! Sorry for slow response.
1) the error message from duplicity indicates a bad encryption password.
2) The settings you posited are confusing. The settings indicate that you are backing up to a local folder. But your error messages indicate that you’re backing up to a pluggable drrive. Which is the reality?
