I have posted instructions at:
 * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory

As to how to add links to your unmounted Private directory, that would
allow you to double click on "Access Your Private Data" link, enter
your password, and then mount your private directory.

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
