(Had to use "keyctl" not "keyutils")
OK, this bug is invalid. It's not the parentheses that do it.
I've tested with other passphrases and they all work - it just seems to
fail with the one I want to use. If I change one character it works,
change the order of characters it works, another passphrase of the same
length and complexity works, keyctl clear @u doesn't affect the outcome,
I've also tried rm -fR .ecryptfs and starting again.
I assumed this was with the keyring, but the passphrase has been
accepted before. I reinstalled Intrepid (surprise) and wanted to recover
my user's Private. I can successfully sudo mount -t ecryptfs ~/.Private
priv, enter the correct details and it works, so I have been using the
obvious workaround of using a different passphrase. I would love to give
you the passphrase to investigate but it's in use for other things
too... :/

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.
