Thanks for the info!  It helps.

I am having trouble replicating this issue. My backups have been close to the same no matter what I back up. What is the mix of files like? All large files with small changes? Small files? A mix?

My guess is that a large file with small changes may be the issue, maybe a database file or something like that.

Here is a test case, step by step, copy/pasted from my terminal, which
shows this issue, and also shows files and folder sizes. It shows at
the end it is not an accounting problem. I can send both the snapshots
if someone needs to reproduce this test.
I'm using duplicity 0.4.3.RC8, but the same problem is present in 0.4.2.
