That's interesting thanks. Sorry for the delay in replying.

I've noticed that white space at the end of a globbing file list caused
things to break, but I hadn't delved into it in any detail. I'm not one
of the main duplicity developers, but I've been meaning to look into
this issue in a bit more detail. It would therefore be helpful to me if
you could please send your example (if you still have it).

Kind regards,

Aaron
