Judging by the comments in #48 above, I suspect my problem is related.

I can log in to my test machine at the keyboard, and the ~/Private
directory is properly mounted. SSH in using public keys
(authorized_keys), and it is not mounted.

ccurley@grissom:~$ /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private
keyctl_search: Required key not available
ccurley@grissom:~$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
       -3 --alswrv   1000    -1  keyring: _uid_ses.1000
202034337 --alswrv   1000    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.1000
ccurley@grissom:~$ 

I believe that indicates that the keyring is empty.

I ran through Mr. Kirkland's exercise in comment 13 above, and was able
to mount the directory correctly.

ccurley@grissom:~$ ll Private/
total 20
drwx------  2 ccurley ccurley 4096 2008-11-06 18:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 36 ccurley ccurley 4096 2008-11-06 20:31 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 ccurley ccurley   15 2008-11-06 18:57 test
ccurley@grissom:~$

I hope the proposed fix handles the case of SSH as well.

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
