hmmm interesting. i havent tried encrypted filesystems
yet ... but according to the kernel config help, you
can use loopback device support for it: 

  The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a
file system in a disk partition, floppy, or regular
file, either using encryption (scrambling the data) or
steganography (hiding the data in the low  bits of,
say, a sound file). 

maybe mount it with -o loop ? your kernel must support
loop though . btw, im guessing on this one.
