    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Duplicity 0.4.6, even with the 6285 patch, mishandles these target URLs:

  ftp://MyServer/%2FMyPath/
  ftp://MySerer//MyPath/

A transcript is attached.

The error happens because the FTP backend passes the target URI directly to
`ncftpls`, which properly unquotes it, but `ntcftpget` and `ncftpput` get the
hostname and pathname.
