Hi, I have no experience with s3, but judging from the error:

I would assume a wrong syntax of the file (no section headers).

According to http://code.google.com/p/boto/wiki/BotoConfig that should be:

[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = <your access key>
aws_secret_access_key = <your secret key>


(I guess, you have simply left out the line "[Credentials]")

Oh, and by the way:
> duplicity backup/* s3+http://jumpbox/

probably has to be
duplicity backup s3+http://jumpbox/

to save the directory backup with all its contents.
