    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The sys.exit() call raises the exception SystemExit, which is being caught by
the generic Exception handler in duplicity.  This causes users to think that
duplicity has failed when it has not.

The problem is only showing up in Python 2.3 and 2.4.  
Python 2.5 and 2.6 are not showing this problem.

The attached patch fixes this issue.
