The suggested line to add to /etc/fstab DOES NOT work for me.
I have the same error "error locking counter"

I'm doing some tests in ubuntu 12.04 booting into recovery mode:
 - I boot into recovery mode
 - I choose a root prompt
 - then I remount all in rw mode
 - then I try to access my private data by executing:
      su norber
      ecryptfs-mount-private

but this last step fails with the message "error locking counter"
and after trying again with the suggested line added to /etc/fstab ... the same error.

I think there is a big problem if one can't access his private data in the recovery mode.
I know there is a way to readonly access the private data by the command 'ecryptfs-recover-private' , but I'm interested in mounting my home propertly (I mean in its place and in rw mode) when I run into recovery mode.

Any other suggestion?
