That's not a normal username.  Duplicity is the part that separates the
URL into user and server portions.  We need to find out if ncftp will
take it in any form.  Just try these to see if ncftp will work:

        ncftpls ftp://address@hidden@domain.com/
        ncftpls ftp://address@hidden@domain.com/
        ncftpls ftp://"address@hidden"@domain.com/
        ncftpls -u address@hidden ftp://domain.com/

If it works for any of the first 3 then a fix to duplicity is in order
to correct the parsing in this case.  If it only works on the fourth
one, then I'll need to add special handling for this form.
