Why the '-' before the first '--exclude'? That causes an error for me.

$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/data1/backups/vampire
$ duplicity full --no-encryption --volsize=5000 - --exclude /opt
--exclude /home --exclude /mnt --exclude /media /
file:///mnt/data1/backups/vampire
Command line error: Expected 2 args, got 3

but starts to work without it (except for my lack of space)

$ duplicity full --no-encryption --volsize=5000 --exclude /opt --exclude
/home --exclude /mnt --exclude /media / file:///mnt/data1/backups/vampire
Temp space has 4312141824 available, backup needs approx 6815744000.
