It's a very old version of duplicity, before 0.4.4.  You need to upgrade
to the latest version, 0.5.03.  The prior versions used options for
commands, i.e. --full instead of full.

Upgrade is available at http://duplicity.nongnu.org/.  See the CHANGELOG
link to see how much has been changed since then.  Its a fair amount.
