[Duplicity-talk] remote_maifest problem

[Michael Johnson]

Hi all

Problem number two here...

I keep getting the following error when I try to run backups from / 
etc/crontab on one of my machines:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 373, in ?
    if __name__ == "__main__": main()
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 362, in main
    check_last_manifest(col_stats)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 342, in check_last_manifest
    last_backup_set.check_manifests()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/duplicity/collections.py",  
line 128, in check_manifests
    if local_manifest: remote_manifest = local_manifest

The interesting part is, when I run this manually as root (the real  
root as in su -), it runs fine.  I have to log in every day to run  
this instead of letting a cron job take care of it.  I'd like to be  
able to sleep through 4am when the cron job runs and MySQL is shut  
down for the backup.

Why is this happening and where do I look to fix it?
