TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
This script attempts to simplify the task of running a duplicity command; if you
are having any problems with the script the first step is to determine if the
script is generating an incorrect command or if duplicity itself is
causing your error.
To see exactly what is happening when you run dt-s3-backup, head to the bottom
of the user configuration portion of the script and uncomment the `ECHO=$(which
echo)` variable. This will stop the script from running and will, instead,
output the generated command into your log file. You can then check to see if
what is being generated is causing an error or if it is duplicity causing you
woe.
