Unfortunately, --archive-dir has some issues imho.

I noticed, that part of the metadata files were not deleted after duplicity cleaned up old backups. Also the 
documentation of "--archive-dir" needs an update. Are the sigs kept only locally? Or locally and 
remote, but only read from remote when local sigs are not available? I am not sure though, if the newest RC 
addresses "--archive-dir". At the moment I am using duplicity without "--archive-dir", it 
works great, but in some cases local signatures would speed things up quite a bit.

I dipped into the source, but my Python is still too weak to produce a patch ;)

Kind regards,
Tom
