Made a bit more progress. I added
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-proposed universe to my
sources.list and now have got 0.4.2-10.1ubuntu1.1 installed. However, I
am getting errors when restoring.

I back up to another server on my network using:
duplicity --encrypt-key "81AEC9E9"  /home/data/Spreadsheets
scp://address@hidden/tmp

I now try to restore using:
duplicity --encrypt-key "81AEC9E9"   scp://address@hidden/tmp
/home/ian/tmp

Sample output is:

address@hidden:~/backup_scripts$ ./test_duplicity.sh

However, the files are correctly restored to /home/ian/tmp. I have chmod
/home/ian/tmp to 777, so I don't think it's a permissions problem.
