duplicity uses it's own locking based on the backup target. any specific reason 
why you added your own?

find out if duplicity is in fact still running. check the log. what does it say?

default number of retries is 5 times your 60 seconds, so it'll will wait at 
least that long.

if you cannot figure out what is going on, kill duplicity, rerun it with max 
verbosity (-v9), up/down network again and see if you can reproduce it.
