So, bottom line is that:
1. deja-dup is failing to procure the necessary SSH/SFTP password, 
2. failing to report the fact it does not have the SSH/SFTP password,
3. not offering an alternative way of getting the password (it is in my ssh-agent but still...)
4. failing to properly report which access in particular was denied, and what deja-dup was trying to do.

Keeping the UI simple is one thing, but not reporting errors in a useful
way is not a useful simplification :-)

Title:
  deja-dup fails reporting "Permission denied", no error logs anywhere

Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have had a working deja-dup setup under Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I upgraded
  to Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Now deja-dup no-longer works, the window states
  "Permission denied" (the German translation), also if I run
  "DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup" there is no output at all. (I am
  currently trying running it from a KDE desktop.)

  I can still successfully run "duplicity collection-status" + the URL I
  find in org.gnome.deja-dup's file backend configuration and get a
  reasonable output, so it does not appear to be an ssh-related issue.

  I moved .cache/deja-dup out of the way, for no improvement.

  How do we go about debugging this?
