The code generating the error message you see looks like this:

    response=`ecryptfs-add-passphrase "$MOUNTPASS"`
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
            error "Could not add passphrase to the current keyring"
    fi

Also, note the following from the manpage:
       Be  sure to properly escape your parameters according to your
shell's special character nuances, and also surround the parameters by
double quotes, if necessary.

Are you using a mount passphrase of your choosing, or are you having
ecryptfs choose a random one for you?

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I recently changed my login password via:
passwd defcon
changed password
rebooted
Logged in and I get no private directory
I then tried ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase oldpass newpass and rebooted and still no go, what can I do to recover my data??
Thanks

I also get this error:
defcon@ion:~/.ecryptfs$ mount.ecryptfs_private 
keyctl_search: Required key not available
