Developing a new encrypted filesystem might not be that easy as you think.

EncFS/Truecrypt are the filesystems that is widely used on Linux and they
have to work on MacOSX as well.

The fact that EncFS works fine on Linux but does not on MacOSX makes me
think that the problem is
in compatibility between macfuse and the upstream fuse implementations.
Could you please compile EncFS with fuse4x? http://fuse4x.org it is much
more compatible with Linux fuse.
Do you still see the problem? If yes - send me the repro case, I'll try to
find some time
and fix the problem with EncFS/Truecrypt.
