The workflow looks like this:
* user requests a mount of encrypted ~/Private
* if it's already mounted, exit
* try to mount with the key(s) currently in the user's keyring (see: keyctl show), exit on success
* key is not in the keyring, so ask the user if they know the mount passphrase
* prompt for mount passphrase and add to keyring (see: ecryptfs-
* retry the mount
