I deleted my previous remote backup collection and created a new one
using the GUI tools. I then verified the backup using duplicity command
line and it worked as expected.
It seems that the remote backup collection can become corrupted while
the GUI will continue to run daily backups reporting that it verified
them and that the backup completed successfully. This is a critical
defect as it will lead to end-user data loss. Users will believe they
have valid backups even when they are corrupted.
I am adding Unity Control Center to this bug report to address the
interaction effect between the GUI in System Settings reporting that
backups are succeeding and the state of a corrupted backup in duplicity.

when trying to list files from my backup. But the files seem ok outside of
duplicity,
This affects multiple servers backing up to different locations.
