The description of --gpg-options in the documentation is misleading

Still seeing this in 12.04.1 LTS (duplicity 0.6.18-0ubuntu3).

This is still an issue - the only reason I found this bug report was that I was searching for clarification on how this option is meant to be used.

Same for me in 12.04.01, trying to figure out how this option works.

This bugs me, too. duplicity failed due to gpg complain wrong command line options.

It should read:
--gpg-options Allows you to pass options to gpg encryption. The options
list should be of the form "--opt1 --opt2=parm" where the string is quoted
and the only spaces allowed are between options.

You need the '--' at the beginning of the option.

I'll get a fix into the trunk soon.
