Bug Description

When trying to add a directory to back up in the config dialog, it crashes with the message "argument of type 'int' is not iterable", and asks me to report the bug.

This is version sbackup 0.11.4 freshly installed in a fresh ubuntu 11.10 AMD64 install.

Traceback from error dialog:
File "/usr/share/sbackup/sbackup/ui/configgui.py", line 1005, in on_inc_adddir_clicked
    if not self.already_inc(self.configman.items("dirconfig"), _enc_dir):

I've pushed a possible fix for this to the repository (sbackup/0.11): avoid using the ConfigParser interpolation feature when checking added directories. Hopefully this will fix the issue, I was not able to reproduce the bug so far.

Please feel free to re-open this bug if the issue is still valid!
