This is great, I'm giving it a try now to see how it works. 

One thing that was brought to mind was that the traditional way of doing
bandwidth limiting with duplicity is to pass something like
'--scp-command "scp -l 256"... using the tahoe backend in duplicity I
imagine that specifying a scp command isn't going to do anything. Is
there anyway to limit the bandwidth usage?

ps - i hope this gets integrated into duplicity!
