Some weeks ago I had a similar problem. The problem started, because
i changed the password from an system running an newer snapshot than
the encrypted System. (So "invalid passphrase" can also mean "too new
fde")

The solution for me was starting an update from a new bsd.rd. After
the update everything was fine again.
