It seems it gets the 'no such process' on *reading*, which indicates
it should be a separate problem from gpg dying (as talked about in
your original post).

I suspect, since you say these are chroots, that duplicity is simply
backing up some particular special file which as special semantics
when read from (let's say it traverses the chroot's mounted /proc file
system or something along those lines).

I don't know specifically which file might be most likely to be the
actual problem here though. if you wish to find out more, I suggest
re-running, without the --exclude, with -v9 (or even just -v5 should
be enough) to see which file duplicity is backing up at the time it
fails.
