Bug Description
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
I set up ecryptfs following the instructions in the community documentation:
$ sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
$ ecryptfs-
Logged out and logged back in. I see the "Private" drive icon on the desktop.
If I copy single files into the Private drive in Nautilus, it seems to work. However, if I select a directory tree to copy in Nautilus by hilighting a directory, pressing control-C and then clicking on Private and pressing control-V to paste, I get an error message for every file in the directory tree that I was trying to copy:
Error while copying "guide.pdf".
There was an error copying the file into /home/me/
Show more details:
Error opening file '/home/

This same problem occurs when using `cp` on the command line in gnome-terminal:
$ cp -r foo /home/me/Private/ me/Private/ foo/putty private ssh key.ppk': Cannot allocate memory
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/
