Hmm, my interpretation of the OP was two instances of duplicity with
the exact same target, which would definitely not be supported.

One fundamental problem is that it is not necessarily even possible to
do proper locking on all backends. But that said, duplicity could
perhaps provide a convenient method of local locking (something like
--backup-lock=/path/to/lock).

I have been using 'mkdir' locks in my scripts so far.
