The answer is right there in your log file:

Warning: file specification '/Exclude' in filelist exclude.txt
doesn't start with correct prefix /home/rj/Duplicity Test.  Ignoring.

The paths in the exclude list should begin with the base directory as 
specified on the command line.  If you are going to run duplicity passing 
"/home/rj/Duplicity Test" as the base directory on the command line, then 
exclude.txt should contain

/home/rj/Duplicity Test/Exclude

Or if you are going to run it from within "/home/rj/Duplicity Test" 
passing "." as the base directory, then exclude.txt should contain

./Exclude

When I try this on my machine (which has duplicity 0.7.04), either case 
works correctly.  Also, in 0.7.04 or some version in between, the warning 
was upgraded to a fatal error, so that you can't possibly overlook it, and 
made a bit more clear.
