Public bug reported:

Hello,

when trying to start sbackup the following error message is issued:

coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sbackup/sbackup/ui/configgui.py", line 1103, in on_dest1_toggled
    self.on_dest_localpath_selection_changed()
  File "/usr/share/sbackup/sbackup/ui/configgui.py", line 1542, in on_dest_localpath_selection_changed
    if (os.path.isdir(_target) and os.access(_target, os.R_OK | os.W_OK | os.X_OK)):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/genericpath.py", line 41, in isdir
    st = os.stat(s)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found


The message also asks me to send the bug report: done here,
and to try sbackup again. Then the program starts and runs as expected.

With regrads
WJ

PS: platform info
- Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:16:28 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- sbackup 0.11.4

This is the new Ubuntu 13.04. Well, it is rather new, nevertheless,
sbackup already worked with the new version. 
I installed sbackup from the ppa some months ago. 
I do not know whether the new ubuntu installation 
did upgrade sbackup (I did not).
