Marking this invalid since it will never work on MacOS. Both Windows and Mac are case preserving on creation, case insensitive on search, while Linux is case preserving and case sensitive. Thus the following problem occurs on restore:

ken@dione:~$ mkdir A
ken@dione:~$ mkdir a
mkdir: a: File exists

and is repeatable in both directions. Duplicity assumes Linux semantics on filenames.

You can force MacOS to be case sensitive, but you have to do it during the install, IIRC.
