Hi Lluis,

I finally found the reason. I bet you have an pure ASCII or english 
setting for LANG.

My LANG is "de_DE.UTF-8". The problem wents away partially if I set LANG 
to "". When using "--use-agent" the passphrase window still pops up, but 
I can cancel it. Without "--use-agent" duplicity runs successfully.

A bug report was already written:

BTW: Its the first hit if you google for "duplicity bug". :-) Hopefully 
this becomes fixed soon...
