All systems run a bit strange if disk space runs out, most not too gracefully. duplicity will estimate the space needed on the local system to run duplicity, but cannot check the remote. It will fail with whatever status the remote returns, which you should then correct if possible. I don't know what caused your truncation, but the error message should now be clearer and have the responsible filename in it.
