I had a couple problems here, both solved in 7.4. First, I had been accidentally entering the wrong encryption password. Deja Dup parsed the error from that as indicating that a filename on the backend was invalid (bug #1). So it turned on --short-filenames. Second, it saw some short-filename cruft files and so kicked off a cleanup operation. This cleanup didn't turn on --short-filenames (bug #2) so it cleaned up any long filenames and went back to 'preparing' mode. Again, the short-filename cruft would be seen, and we'd kick off cleanup. Rinse and repeat.

To fix, I made sure cleanup got the --short-filenames argument if it had been turned on. And second, I made the error for a bad encryption password more distinct.
