Thanks for the suggestion, but no. What I could have done, though, is 
supply the relevant output from duplicity...

CL:  /usr/bin/duplicity incremental -v 8 --include-globbing-filelist 
includes / 'file:///cygdrive/c/My Dropbox/Backup'

Contents of 'includes':
--
/cygdrive/c/Projects
- **
--

Output:
...

...

Now, what is really odd is that duplicity seems to have no problems 
writing to the backup -destination- file, however finding those files 
underneath /cygdrive/c for whatever reason does not work.

Best regards
Jan
