Martin-

Okay, try this ...

ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /home/.ecryptfs/kirkland/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
(record this as your MOUNTPW)

keyctl clear @u
keyctl list @u
(should be empty)
ecryptfs-insert-wrapped-passphrase-into-keyring /home/.ecryptfs/kirkland/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
keyctl list @u
(should see 2 sigs, one for file contents, one for filenames)
SIG1=$(head -n1 /home/.ecryptfs/kirkland/.ecryptfs/Private.sig)
SIG2=$(tail -n1 /home/.ecryptfs/kirkland/.ecryptfs/Private.sig)
mount -t ecryptfs -o rw,relatime,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=<SIG2>,ecryptfs_sig=<SIG1>,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16 /home/.ecryptfs/kirkland/.Private /mnt
ls /mnt
cat /mnt/.profile

This is working for me... Can you give this a shot?

Note that we're using mount -t ecryptfs here, rather than mount.ecryptfs.
