Bug Description
1. Ubuntu 10.10
2. deja-dup 18.1.1-
duplicity 0.6.10-0ubuntu1
3. -- cannot provide this file, my gsettings does not know a list-recursively command--
4. see attachment
Details:
I am trying to backup some directories which contain square brackets in their absolute paths, e.g. "/home/
The directory of concern is several gbits in size. When i started the backup-procedure it only took a couple of seconds and deja-dup told me it's done(which made me suspicious). When i looked into the target directory(where the backup should be written to) i found a manifest and two files which were only a few kbits in size though. I was able to reproduce this behaviour every time.
I have come to the conclusion that this might be somehow connected with the square brackets in the paths since i was perfectly able to backup directories that did not contain any special characters in their paths.

I see the problem. Paths passed to duplicity, if they include literal *, ?, [ or ] characters, will be treated as a shell file pattern. Working on a fix.
