The same:

[12248.496719] ecryptfs_read_and_validate_header_region: Error reading header region; rc = [-4]
[12248.496733] Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region
[12248.496736] Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO

Running:

find $HOME/.Private/ -size 0c -exec ls '{}' \; | wc -l
0

does return 0 - so i got no 0byte encrypted file containers in the Private folder - what else could cause this?
