I wonder if you could share how you found out the files that Duplicity chokes on? After having my backup -system disfunctional for two months, i would love to rename some files as a workaround to the bug. Duplicity itself (well, i use Deja-Dup interface) gives just an "unknown error" and the details don't unfortunately pin it down to which character string is causing the conflict.

Cheers.
