[Duplicity-talk] What happened to "file:" protocol?

[Scott Hannahs]

I was testing a setup of duplicity and eventually I will get it  
working with the dreamhost backup area.  But as has been recommended I  
was first backing up to a local file system directory.  But with an  
update to duplicity I get an "unsupported backend" for the file:://  
protocol?  What happened here?  I think it is still in the man page.

My test command is
/sw/bin/duplicity full --encrypt-key XXXXXXXX --sign-key XXXXXXXX  
$HOME/Documents/ file:///tmp/Documents/
and I get a response

"UnsupportedBackendScheme: scheme not supported in url: file:///tmp/Documents 
"/

When did file: become unsupported?  Or am I doing something incredibly  
foolish?
