Hi,

I would like to add that I ran into a similar problem when I first 
started using duplicity. I tried restoring a few files which was backed 
up from EXT3 and tried to restore to NTFS and duplicity was not happy. 
I managed to get a spare drive, format as EXT3 and the data was 
restored.

Hope that helps a bit :)
