I have the same problem. I receive the following message in the error window:

"coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sbackup/sbackup/ui/configgui.py", line 1103, in on_dest1_toggled

    st = os.stat(s)

I run on: Linux vulcan 3.8.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 16:35:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I upgraded from 12.10 and never used sbackup after the upgrade.
