Hi Marco - Public key support in eCryptfs requires a userspace daemon
(ecryptfsd) to be running to perform the (un)wrapping of file encryption
keys through something like OpenSSL.  Have you started ecryptfsd?  Each
user wanting to use a eCryptfs mount point with OpenSSL support enabled
must start their own instance of ecryptfsd.  This error message
indicates to me that the eCryptfs kernel module doesn't know about an
ecryptfsd process running for your user:

ecryptfs_send_message: User [1000] does not have a daemon registered

Feel free to stop by irc://irc.oftc.net/#ecryptfs and I think we can
quickly straighten this out.
