I had this happen too.  About a month or 2 ago, all my encfs directories 
no longer worked.  I don't know what caused it or what (if any) 
workaround there is.  I assume that an upgrade of some package (possibly 
encfs itself, possibly something else) was responsible, but I don't know 
what.

For me, the dirs were easily recreatable, so I just whacked them and 
recreated them and the problem was solved.  Not sure if this is an 
option for you though.

I'd be curious to hear any info you're able to dig up about what caused 
this.
