I am having the same problem here. I have also noted that the files
where the memory allocation error occurs are not being copied correctly
(so it is not a benign message):

Error when copying directory tree with Nautilus to ~/Private using ecryptfs

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I set up ecryptfs following the instructions in the community documentation:

$ sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
$ ecryptfs-setup-private

Logged out and logged back in.  I see the "Private" drive icon on the desktop.

If I copy single files into the Private drive in Nautilus, it seems to work.  However, if I select a directory tree to copy in Nautilus by hilighting a directory, pressing control-C and then clicking on Private and pressing control-V to paste, I get an error message for every file in the directory tree that I was trying to copy:

Error while copying "guide.pdf".

There was an error copying the file into /home/me/Private/foo/benefits.

Show more details:
Error opening file '/home/me/Private/foo/benefits/guide.pdf': Cannot allocate memory
