I encountered the same issue. Here is how to make it work: before using duplicity, set the following environment variable

S3_USE_SIGV4="True"

and use the full url to access your bucket, e.g.

duplicity [your options here] s3://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/my_own_bucket

check this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26744712/s3-using-boto-and-sigv4-missing-host-parameter (among other links)
