Bug Description
On the conclusion of a backup, if any nonreadable files exist in the backup source directories, Deja Dup shows a notification at the bottom of my screen telling me that the backup completed but not all files were able to be backed up; "see dialog for details". However, this dialog never appears. As a result, the "deja-dup --backup --auto" process never terminates, as it's waiting for me to close a dialog that never appeared in the first place.
This effectively breaks the automatic, "set-and-forget" backup strategy, as deja-dup-monitor will not launch another scheduled backup until the deja-dup process exits, which will never happen.
This only happens when deja-dup is launched with "deja-dup --backup --auto"; launching with "deja-dup --backup" (no auto) does show the dialog at the end of the process, allowing me to close it and properly terminate the backup.

Yes - also affects me running xubuntu 13:10.
I don't see a dialog - only way I know the backup has failed (or is still waiting to finish) is if I access the Deja-dup ui and the Backup Now button is greyed out. I then check Task Manager and see "deja-dup --backup --auto" is still alive. Kill that and all OK.
I don't know what file(s) it gets hung up on as I don't see a dialog.
This was also raised in Question #237446 but was never resolved as far as I can see.
