Duplicity doesn't follow symbolic links (that's the way it is). To backup a directory, one must use the absolute real path in configuration file.
As long as Duplicity doesn't provide a solution (cf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/721599), it is be possible for the script to accept symbolic links in configuration file and expand them to realpath at runtime. That would be useful in some cases.
