Hello,
you can use --exclude-regexp if you dont have any files starting with a dot in the current directory. so the glob would not be expanded
args="--include /home --exclude-regexp '.*'"
One question: why do you need to have --exclude? Is duplicity recursive in nature.?
anyways I hope that solves your problem.
Regards,
Gaurav.

bup-drecurse
bup-drecurse(1) General Commands Manual bup-drecurse(1)
NAME
bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem
SYNOPSIS
bup drecurse [-x] [-q] [--exclude path] [--exclude-from filename] [--profile] <path>
DESCRIPTION
bup drecurse traverses files in the filesystem in a way similar to find(1). In most cases, you should use find(1) instead.
This program is useful mainly for testing the file traversal algorithm used in bup-index(1).
Note that filenames are returned in reverse alphabetical order, as in bup-index(1). This is important because you can't generate the hash
of a parent directory until you have generated the hashes of all its children. When listing files in reverse order, the parent directory
will come after its children, making this easy.
OPTIONS
-x, --xdev, --one-file-system
don't cross filesystem boundaries.
-q, --quiet
don't print filenames as they are encountered. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
--exclude=path
a path to exclude from the backup (can be used more than once)
--exclude-from=filename
a file that contains exclude paths (can be used more than once)
--profile
print profiling information upon completion. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
EXAMPLE
bup drecurse -x /
SEE ALSO
bup-index(1)
BUP
Part of the bup(1) suite.
