MB, there is no workaround for this for older versions.  You'll have to
rename the folder if you want Deja Dup to be able to refer to it.
Sorry.  But it should be fixed in Ubuntu 11.10 (I just uploaded a fix).

Bug description:
  1. Ubuntu 10.10
  2. deja-dup 18.1.1-0ubuntu1.1~maverick1
      duplicity 0.6.10-0ubuntu1

  Details:
  I am trying to backup some directories which contain square brackets in their absolute paths, e.g. "/home/User/[Games]/".
  The directory of concern is several gbits in size. When i started the backup-procedure it only took a couple of seconds and deja-dup told me it's done(which made me suspicious). When i looked into the target directory(where the backup should be written to) i found a manifest and two files which were only a few kbits in size though. I was able to reproduce this behaviour every time.

  I have come to the conclusion that this might be somehow connected
  with the square brackets in the paths since i was perfectly able to
  backup directories that did not contain any special characters in
  their paths.
