Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I just installed the beta of Karmic Koala server, and decided to try out
the encrypted home directory feature. When ftp'ing some files across
from my laptop to the new server, some files with long(-ish) filenames
failed. I subsequently tar'd these files up and transferred them across,
but when I came to untar them in my encrypted home directory, this again
failed. To determine whether or not it was the encryption that was
causing the problem I untar'd the files in /tmp (unencrypted fs) on the
server, and this was successful.

The filenames that failed were:

08 - Messiah_Part_I-
_Recitative__alto_-_Behold,_a_virgin_shall_conceive,_Air__alto_-_O_thou_that_tellest_good_tidings_to_Zion
,_Chorus-_O_thou_that_tellest_good_tidings_to_Zion,_arise.ogg

(187 chars)

14 - Messiah_Part_I-
_Recitative__soprano_I_-_Then_shall_the_eyes_of_the_blind_be_opened,_Air__alto___soprano_I_-_He_shall_feed_His_flock_like_a_shepherd.ogg

(157 chars)

Although these filenames are quite long, I would still expect these to
be accepted, particularly if they are accepted under the unencrypted
filesystem.

Could be related to bug #359531 ?
