Same problem here, even after deleting .ecryptfs .Private and Private folders.
After reboot, Private is not automounted.
Doubleclicking on that long softlink found in Private doesnt do anything.
Executing mount.ecryptfs_private in terminal returns: required key not found.
Executing "ecryptfs-mount-private" in terminal does the job, finally.

Can open Private directory after a reboot

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I created an encrypted private directory following the instructions here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory

Everything worked as it should until I rebooted. When I try to mount my private directory I get the following message:

 jimk@intrepid:~$ mount.ecryptfs_private
keyctl_search: Required key not available

When I go to create a key, I get the following message:

jimk@intrepid:~$ ecryptfs-setup-private
ERROR: wrapped-passphrase file already exists, use --force to overwrite.

I can create a new passphrase if I use the force option, but I shouldn't have to do this everytime I reboot
