Hi Dustin,

>From with my logged in session I can run

tar zcvf backup.tar.gz /home/.ecryptfs

and it seems to work fine, tarring up all the encrypted folders/files.

When I can get a chance I'll see if there's any problem when trying the
same thing from a live-cd with nothing mounted.

My guess this is a limitation of file-roller (the default archive
manager in gnome).

/jon
