old signature files left around by remove-older-than

Running remove-older-than is leaving around the full-signatures.sigtar.gz files for full backups that it is deleting. Some of my backup sets are very large, so the unnecessary signature sets are taking up several extra gigs of space on my backup target server.

Here's the command I'm using:

duplicity remove-older-than 31D scp://<email address hidden>/backup/control-duplicity/daily/mail/ --archive-dir=/var/cache/duplicity/mail/ -v9

I'll attach the entire log.

i also see this behaviour with 0.6.08/11 and someone in the mailing list as well. see:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.duplicity.general/4424

must be a bug in the cleaning code. Probably got introduced with the extra cleaning and keeping sigs for listing older backups.

in my case it keeps the files 'duplicity-full-signatures.*.sigtar.gpg' and 'duplicity-new-signatures.*.to.*.sigtar.gpg' .. seems to be all signatures to me (changed the subject accordingly)
