This affects me too, though I'm not on Ubuntu this is the only bug
report I could find for this issue.  Added /mydocs to the backup list.
In the past I have had this mounted as an external NTFS partition and
accessed from Linux and Windows systems, but it's currently the same set
of files copied into a root directory on my filesystem.  So, it seems
the lost+found directory isn't useful in my situation, yet it still
causes an error report during the backup.  The backup does seem to
proceed normally, I got a 52Gb backup with this one message about
/mydocs/lost+found output at the end.

neek@uberneek ~$ mount | grep mydocs
neek@uberneek ~$ ls -ld /mydocs
drwxr-xr-x. 23 neek neek 4096 Apr 17 10:10 /mydocs
neek@uberneek ~$ ls -ld /mydocs/lost+found/
drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Jun 10  2011 /mydocs/lost+found/

Added /mydocs to the inclusion list and /mydocs/lost+found to the
exclusion list using the "Backup" frontend in Fedora 18.

deja-dup-26.0-1.fc18.x86_64

I have to presume dejadup is scanning the root dir of a directory in the
list of included locations without considering the exclusion list, which
is only used later when doing a deep scan for files to actually backup.
My user 'neek' cannot read or list the lost+found directory so the scan
fails.
