I deleted my previous remote backup collection and created a new one using the GUI tools. I then verified the backup using duplicity command line and it worked as expected.
It seems that the remote backup collection can become corrupted while the GUI will continue to run daily backups reporting that it verified them and that the backup completed successfully. This is a critical defect as it will lead to end-user data loss. Users will believe they have valid backups even when they are corrupted.
I am adding Unity Control Center to this bug report to address the interaction effect between the GUI in System Settings reporting that backups are succeeding and the state of a corrupted backup in duplicity.
