What versions of duplicity and boto do you have? I'm running boto-1.4c and 
duplicity-0.5.02 which
seem to be the latest of both.

Also, try addine a --timeout value to duplicity.

There have been (from reading the S3 section on the duplicity man page) issues 
with bucket
creation delays etc that this can help with.

In any case, a timeout should help on a slow link.

Does anyone know if we can use --timeout=0 to wait for ever?? That would be 
very handy.

Rich.
