Did you run ecryptfs-setup-private from the command line, or did you
choose to have an encrypted private directory in the installer?

When you run 'ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase', after the warning about the
salt value, does it return your mount passphrase?  What's the exit code?
(Hint: echo $?)

Make sure you quote your login passphrase if you have any funny
characters.

Bug description:
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
