I have this exact same problem. I tried creating an empty metadata file so it can write over it, but that didn't work. I decided to symlink only the folder inside '.cache/deja-dup', the folder named 6724d3f170e0390931977a130c2b7632. I thought by leaving the deja-dup folder, it will be able to write the metadata file but still have everything else symlink somewhere else. It didn't work, and it was nasty. As soon as I tried to ran a manual backup (from the GUI, of course) I saw this error:
"Specified archive directory '/home/[user]/.cache/deja- dup/6724d3f170e0390931977a130c2b7632' does not exist, or is not a directory" Well, I guess it's technically not a directory, it's a symlink to one. Has anybody come up with a workaround for this?
