virtual joe is still having a problem:
Hi Ken,

Thanks for clarifying, but no I have not touched or moved the source at
all.

Some of the lines in my duplicity log which is a 157MB text file now are full of As such as
A usr/share/zoneinfo/posix
A usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4/Documentation/i2c
A usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4/arch/sparc/mm
A usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4/drivers/net/wireless/hermes.c

seems pretty much entire /usr/src/linux  begin with A for Add and
all/most /usr/share...

there's many others also not in /usr/src that all begin with A

I was beginning to think maybe duplicity isn't as accurate as Rsync in
how it compares files and perhaps a date time glitch mismatch between
systems could cause problems?

I did the initial duplicity transfer while the target server was on the internal network. I then moved the server into the DATA CENTER to do the Differential/Incremental....so I was thinking perhaps its a date/time issue on files or something causing it to think most of the files are all 'new' , in the beginning it did say gio failed but I don't think this is a feature i need ie
Import of duplicity.backends.giobackend Failed: No module named gio
Main action: inc

It started out well i thought:
AsyncScheduler: instantiating at concurrency 0
A etc
M etc/group
M etc/group-
A etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour
M etc/openvpn/ipp.txt
M etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log

Here is an example

A usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4/drivers/media/video/em28xx
A usr/src/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r4/drivers/media/video/em28xx/Kconfig
