Same problem here. Using an ecryptfs folder on a btrfs filesystem. Running on Arch Linux though.

When copying files using nautilus or nemo into the ecryptfs folder, they often seem to get truncated to 0 bytes length. This does not happen when using "cp" from the terminal.

I get the following error when trying to read such a file:

    Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region, inode xxxxx

I have to delete the file in order to get rid of the error message, just as described at http://blog.stephenn.com/2012/04/problem-with-corrupt-files-and-ecrypt.html.

Unmounting and remounting the encrypted filesystem makes broken files show with the correct filesize again. But opening them gives an I/O read error then. So I have to delete them finally.
