ok, seem to have found it.

@Ken: how about moving this check into the backend wrapper, where it will be 
retryable? Mike's reasoning in 
  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2011-11/msg00037.html
is flawed anyway, because only if the upload does not fail persistently we can 
assume that we have a bug in "our" code base. 
  also the error message is somewhat misleading and should simply state "File 
size of %s on the backend does not match the local size." as this is what is 
tested only.
