I'll agree with that.  Do they block all OSS sites, or just some?

I don't have a locked file on the system and don't have Outlook, but
pagefile.sys does the same thing in effect.  My Windows system is a
Windows XP system running under VMware.  Very minimal.

$ ./duplicity-bin --include=/cygdrive/c/pagefile.sys --exclude=**
/cygdrive/c file://testdup

I'm going to have to dig into this a bit further.  It looks like Windows
will let you open the file, but then not access it, not good.  I'll have
to apply the same checks further into the process.  I'll open a bug
report on this.  For now, just --exclude=**.pst and back it up to a
different file extension before duplicity.
