Bug Description

When the backup location is out of space, we currently show the dreaded 'unknown error' with an exception. It would be nice to make this more user-friendly. This would dovetail with bug 540593 (ask to delete old backups), but is useful with or without a fix for that bug.

Can you provide me with the following information?

1. The file /tmp/deja-dup.log after running the following line and replicating the problem (you may want to scrub the log of any incriminating file names or details):
    DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup | tail -n 200 > /tmp/deja-dup.log

2. The file /tmp/deja-dup.gconf after running the following line:
    gconftool-2 --dump /apps/deja-dup > /tmp/deja-dup.gconf

3. The distribution of Linux you're using:
    lsb_release -d
