hey anonymous,

duplicity implements 2 ssh-backends.
  https://duplicity.us/stable/duplicity.1.html#a-note-on-ssh-backends

default being paramiko which afaics supports the proxy command
  https://docs.paramiko.org/en/latest/api/config.html
. maybe you got an older paramiko version, that didn't?

anyway, two things
1. if at all possible use sftp:// because it is much more robust and reliable
   https://duplicity.us/stable/duplicity.1.html#why-use-sftp-instead-of-scp
2. try pexpect+sftp:// the cmd line binary based backend. if they work for you 
directly they should work in tandem with duplicity as well.

should you find out why paramiko is not working we would appreciate a quick 
description here for the ml archive and all future users.

hope that helped.. sunny regards ede/duply.net
