I have just started using duplicity and unfortunately I had a little mishap the other day and now need to restore from my backups (sudo rm * /tmp/* while in my home directory =S *fail*).
However whenever I try to restore from the duplicity backups I get an error stating CollectionsError: No backup chains found.
Here is the full verbosity 9 output:

Please help,
This is the only recent backup copy I have of my home directory.
