Just to check, for the last file shown in your log 
(mario/Video/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.avi), are you able to 
read the file normally?  E.g. does

cat mario/Video/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.avi >/dev/null

succeed?

Otherwise, it would be interesting to run duplicity under strace:

strace -f -o foo duplicity ...

and post the last part of "foo".  Probably starting from

open("mario/Video/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.avi", ...)

EIO is most often caused by hardware or kernel problems, not by user-level 
software, but it's not impossible...
