Bug description:
I'm using an encrypted home directory on Ubuntu Jaunty. When I create a new file in my home directory or copy and existing file/folder, du shows its size as zero bytes:

das@serenity ~ > dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1024 count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.114302 s, 9.2 MB/s
das@serenity ~ > du test
0	test
das@serenity ~ > ll test
-rw-r--r-- 1 das das 1048576 2009-06-22 22:14 test

du keeps reporting a size of zero bytes until the encrypted directory is remounted. After that, the output seems to be correct.
