The first set of errors are due to the system being unable to 'chown' the files to their original owner. I don't think these are the main issue here.

I'm still familiarizing myself with the relevant parts of the code base, but here's my interpretation of the stack trace. At the time the exception is raised, duplicity is working on the following sequence of patches:

[(('.duplicity', 'filelist') reg), (('.duplicity', 'filelist') reg)]

When applying a set of patches, they must be applied in the order they were created, starting with the original file. In this case, the first patch in the sequence is a "diff", so an exception is raised.
