Thanks.  Yea, I have discovered that indeed you can mount over an
existing home folder and it appears things pretty much work.

I created a folder under /Users called .myuserid

This is an name association with a login user called myuserid

I can then mount as follows:  encfs /Users/.myuserid /Users/myuserid
and indeed it allows the encfs to be mounted on top of the normal one.

There are two oddities that don't quite work right now.  They are:

- A file put in ~/Desktop does not show up on the Finder desktop.
- If I say "Go Home" from the Finder menu, it doesn't open the home
folder.

Also, when I look in /Users, the home folder "myuserid" is now a link
in the /Users finder window , but in terminal, it shows as a real
folder.  In Finder get info, it shows the link as owned by root:wheel
but is shown as owned by the user in terminal.

I need to think about all of this to get my head around it, but this
is interesting hacking about.

I'm also going to play with some options mentioned in the other
article such as allow_root and see if I can improve on what I have
now.

BTW, let me take this opportunity to thank you for MacFuse.  It's
awesome and I use it with SpotlightFS, ssh and ftp as well as now
playing with encfs.

I'm not going to encrypt my home folder for anything mission critical
at this point.  :-)  But, I am going to keep playing.

Thanks again!
