I don't think the slash at the end should be there.  Try it without that? 
(Also, I assume in the real version of the file, "Documents" is spelled 
correctly?  And of course you know that it is case sensitive.)

Specifying "--include /home/rj" should not be necessary, but I don't think 
it hurts.

I presume you have read the "FILE SELECTION" section in the duplicity man 
page?
