no you don't ... but i see now that this is a general "how to shell
script" issue and has nothing to with duplicity itself.

try something like

PARAMS="--param1 'foo bar' --param2 'bla blup'"

duplicity $PARAMS

understand that your shell uses the outer double quotes to understand
that you want everything within to be assigned to var PARAM. after that
they are gone. so in order for the quotes to survive until used you have
to quote within quotes.

if that doesn't work, show me your script and i'll show you your error.
