After reading a thread here mentioning duplicity and it's gui, I
decided to
try and set up a simple cron to back up one of my machines to an nfs host.
According to the man page this should work though:

{30}:/home/nomad>duplicity full --no-encryption --volsize=5000
- --exclude /opt --exclude /home --exclude /mnt --exclude /media /
file:///mnt/data1/backups/vampire
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: none
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1239, in <module>
    with_tempdir(main)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1232, in with_tempdir
    fn()
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1205, in main
    full_backup(col_stats)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 416, in full_backup
    globals.backend)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 296, in write_multivol
    at_end = gpg.GzipWriteFile(tarblock_iter, tdp.name, globals.volsize)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/gpg.py", line 331, in
GzipWriteFile
    new_block = block_iter.next(min(128*1024, bytes_to_go))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line
505, in next
    result = self.process(self.input_iter.next(), size)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line
631, in process
    data, last_block = self.get_data_block(fp, size - 512)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line
658, in get_data_block
    buf = fp.read(read_size)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line
415, in read
    buf = self.infile.read(length)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line
384, in read
    buf = self.infile.read(length)
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

The excludes are all nfs mounts except /opt which is just a huge app
repository that's
easily re-installed.  Anyone see anything blatantly wrong?   yes,
/mnt/data1/backups/vampire
exists and is accesable.  I am running the command as root.
