You have the exact problem I'm seeing on my RHEL boxes.  I have to  
run this stuff by hand for now until it gets fixed.  Sadly, the  
developer says he doesn't know why the problem is there.  You can try  
this patch:

<http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/duplicity/duplicity/ 
collections.py?root=duplicity&r1=1.10&r2=1.11&makepatch=1&diff_format=u>

It didn't work for me and I still run them by hand.  I really need a  
fix for this soon.  I'm looking for a different solution in the mean  
time.
