Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on

You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs,

Bug description:
karmic

using lsattr on any files in my home gives me the following msg
Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on test-file

the system is ext4.

weird thing is if I try on a file outside /home/$USER it works correctly.

outside /home/$USER means for example /home/otheruser, /etc ...

I just filed another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469571). I don't know if there is something connected as in the other bug it's about the opposite. everything I try to trash in my /home goes to the trash while everything for elsewhere can only be deleted direclty.
