I answered your LP question and will answer you through ecryptfs-users
for completeness.

If you don't want to use filename encryption and don't wish for the
mount helper to ask you each time you mount, pass
"-o ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=n" to mount.

Since you're asking about not wishing to be prompted by the mount helper
for filename encryption, it leads me to believe that you're performing
this mount quite often.  If this is the case, consider adding the
appropriate line to /etc/fstab and use 'mount -i /mount/point/path' to
skip the interactive mount helper.
