This seems to come from collections.py which, at least in trunk,
counts the amount of items returned by the backend's list() method.
For a local directory, that should be fairly plainly the results of
listdir(). In other words, there is not a lot of filtering going on
that would cause a bogusly empty list of files.

I'd ask if the user you're running duplicity as has access to list
those files, but you're using sudo so presumably the answer is yes. Is
it possible the path is someone mis-spelled pointing to some existing
but empty directory? Have you tried flat-out copy-and-pasting the path
(/media/Backups/alan-worklaptop.duplicity/) and giving it to 'ls'?
