the latest vol_id gives more verbose output...this is probably where the problem lies:

root@bigboy:~# vol_id /dev/sda2
ID_FS_USAGE=crypto
ID_FS_TYPE=crypto_LUKS
ID_FS_VERSION=
ID_FS_UUID=18942279-eaf5-4e86-a174-8b04b5d3127e
ID_FS_LABEL=
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=
root@bigboy:~#

it seems that luks has left some traces on this partition.

BUT

root@bigboy:~# dumpe2fs /dev/sda2 | head -n 5

NB the UUIDs are different. how does that work? i dont really know what this means but i hope its useful to somebody...
