scp:,sftp: fails collection-status, but file:/// works ok
Not sure if this is a bug that's cropped up or I'm doing something wrong. This chant (and similar) used to work all the time:
root@brit-ubtu1:~# export PASSPHRASE='*****'
root@brit-ubtu1:~# duplicity --ssh-options=
But now it just results in:
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: none
Collection Status
---
Connecting with backend: SftpBackend
Archive dir: /root/.
Found 0 secondary backup chains.
No backup chains with active signatures found
No orphaned or incomplete backup sets found.
root@
I have tried clearing the cache and a few other desperate measures; no result.
However (no changes), this works fine:

Any idea what is going on here?
Notes:
- Had to struggle a bit with the latest version not honoring the identity file from ssh_config, hence the -oIdentityFile command line parameter. Found that someplace else, but at least it works.
- Tried --use-scp, but the result is the same.
- Versions are identical on both machines:
duplicity 0.6.18
- Backing up works fine - it produced the backup set(s) shown above. verfiy doesn't work and collection-status doesn't work.
