The version mismatch does not come from the kernel 2.6.32, I've just
reproduce it with the official 2.6.31-15-generic.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
  
  Another stupid use case: if you insert a key in the keyring using the
  signature from ~/.ecryptfs/Private.sig as description, and something
  wrong as the passprase, you don't get a meaningful message saying that
  the passphrase is not the right one. Instead, you get an error from
  mount.
  
  I know I shouldn't be doing that, but getting clear error messages
  always helps debugging.
  
  $ keyctl clear @u
  $ keyctl add user [signature] stuff @u
  896838280
- $ mount.ecryptfs_private 
+ $ mount.ecryptfs_private
  mount: Invalid argument
- 
  
  dmesg shows weird errors, maybe meaning something else is going wrong?
