I have not found the bug you describe to be true. Work-a-round. If you mount the backup destination before the scheduled backup begins, everything is fine and the backup runs without error.
If you don't mount the backup destination before the scheduled backup, it will fail, with destination does not have permissions. The permissions on the backup destination are correct in my case. It's just a matter of having the destination partition for backups available by mounting it first. Granted, it seems to be a deja-dup bug, but more to the point, it's an OS system bug because the OS does the mounting, not deja-dup. Deja-Dup just makes an OS system call for the partition, which gets passed to Deja-Dup, but gets no reply from the OS system to mount the partition or have the partition mounted at system startup. If the OS mounts the partition at system start-up, Deja-Dup will perform as expected. I have tried "through system startup" to have the destination partition "auto-mount" at startup, and this works, but no reply to deja-dup is received. It is not a "hard-to-detect-sometimes-directories", but a OS system bug as Deja-Dup does not get the appropriate command to mount the destination partition, or does not reply to the OS system to mount the partition. Be well.
