What happens when you run:
 ecryptfs-mount-private

Are you prompted for a password?  Do you have keys in your keyring?
 keyctl list @u

In the worst case, you're going to need to manually insert your keys
into your keyring, with:
 ecryptfs-insert-wrapped-passphrase-into-keyring ~/.wrapped-passphrase

And then run:
 mount.ecryptfs_private
