looks like python is segfaulting

1. try w/o --progress´, it makes weird things sometimes

2. find where OSX logs it's segfaults. they should end up in a kernel
log or such.

3. have duply generate the command line for you via --preview switch..
run the command line manually and see if it now print the whole segfault
info, for you to take and web search for a solution

4. try to downgrade python, to a version that worked before
