Thanks for the bug report.
I just tested this, using a user named "foo", with password of "(foo)".
The ecryptfs-setup-private works to completion.
I am then able to log out, and log back in with password "(foo)". My
private directory mounts fine.
There are other things that can cause ecryptfs-add-passphrase to fail.
The most common problem is when the passphrase is already in your
keyring.
Perhaps you can try running ecryptfs-setup-private again, but this time,
ensure that your keyring is cleared first.
You can display your keyring with "keyutils show", and clear it with
"keyutils clear @u"

Trying to set up a ~/Private with a mount passphrase containing any parentheses
( "(",")" ) will initially be accepted but the script will fail on trying to
add the passphrase to the keyring:
# Add the passphrase to current keyring
# On subsequent logins, this should be handled by "pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap"
response=`printf "$MOUNTPASS" | ecryptfs-add-passphrase -`
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
error "Could not add passphrase to the current keyring"
fi
This has worked previously.
