Raph,
the manpage seems to be out of date on verify. verify nowadays only restores to
a temp path and checks if the result matches the checksum saved during backup.
if you really want to compare you will need to add the --compare-data parameter.
to restrict comparision to a folder/file you will need to add the
--file-to-restore parameter.
something like
duplicity verify --compare-data --file-to-restore /etc/hostname
file://backups/duplicity /
assuming that '/' the fs root was your initial backup source on the other
machine.
