I'm not sure what is going wrong here, if neither of us is listening to the other or what... but I've stressed that I wanted a solution for when I could not access my home machine.... Does your solution involve that? Expecting to work out encfs and sshfs/fuse etc on a session in the nearest kinkos, probably on machines running one or another version of windows, and further with no download or install options on said machine is not all that nifty of an approach.
