hey Mrob,

searching reveals this is a know issue eg.
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=901590

there was also a non-related B2 fix in duplicity 0.7.18.. so you may want to 
either update your versions (duplicity/B2) manually to the latest greatest

and/or

patch as described in the debian bug tracker.

if that helps it might make sense to provide a patch here.. ede/duply.net
