you might want to google this one. 
i found
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2003-02/msg00000.html
and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/780270

it seems currently mysterious and connected to either path length or
size of the backup.

i will mark it as a duplicate of the bug above and convert it to a bug.
please attach a private data obfuscated output of a run with maximum
verbosity '-v9' so we can see what is going on...

regards ede/duply.net
