Dear Mama Intainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

A find command that didn't returned all files show that '-iname' is not working
as expected as the result depends on the place from where the command is
launched.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I've got motions pictures in a encrypted (encfs) directories.
Launching find from another directory is alright ('-iname' works):
user@machine: /home/user$ find /OTHER/owx/0_VD/ -iname ghost*
/OTHER/owx/0_VD/ghosts.of.mars.2001.flv
/OTHER/owx/0_VD/FANTASTIC/Ghost_Machine_2009.avi
/OTHER/owx/0_VD/FANTASTIC/Ghost_1990.flv
/OTHER/owx/0_VD/FANTASY/Ghost_Rider_Spirit_Of_Vengeance_2012.flv

Launching from the top encrypted directory apparently miss recursion or fail on
insensitive case filenames:
user@machine: OTHER/owx/0_VD$ find . -iname ghost*
./ghosts.of.mars.2001.flv

Launching it still from the same directory but with a full path doesn't work
too:
user@machine: OTHER/owx/0_VD$ find /OTHER/owx/0_VD/ -iname ghost*
/OTHER/owx/0_VD/ghosts.of.mars.2001.flv

Launching it still from the same directory but with a capital where expected
work:
user@machine: OTHER/owx/0_VD$ find . -iname Ghost*
./ghosts.of.mars.2001.flv
./FANTASTIC/Ghost_Machine_2009.avi
./FANTASTIC/Ghost_1990.flv
./FANTASY/Ghost_Rider_Spirit_Of_Vengeance_2012.flv

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Find insensitive case research is missing files (recursion problem?)

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Find to find all wanted files as expected.
