  PE> I have installed duplicity-0.1.1 on a Intel-Linux-box (kernel

Ahh, the first bug report...  I was hoping that someone other than me
was trying to run it...

  PE>     duplicity --exclude-other-filesystems full dimitri \ /
  PE> scp://root@dimitri.ehrenb//bkup/dimitri/duplicity/root

  PE> There are two problems:

  PE> 1. Against the doc I have to use two slashes in the remote path:

  PE>         scp://root@dimitri.ehrenb//bkup

I'm using the URL format "protocol://user@machine/directory".  So if
you just put in one slash, then you end up with the directory "bkup",
which is relative to the current directory.  Since you you seem to
want the absolute directory "/bkup", you have to put in two slashes,
as you did.

    It's a bit confusing, but I think I'm following the standard.  For
the same reason that's why you have to type "file:///etc/initab" (3
slashes) into your browser to see file "/etc/inittab".

Looks like a problem with --exclude-other-filesystems.  Is it possible
you were deleting files during the backup?  If so, this patch should
fix it:

                sel_func.name = "Match other filesystems"
                return sel_func

but if not, then it won't, so if you weren't deleting files then no
need to try it out.  Is it choking on any particular directory?
