I seem to have the same problem. Here's what I did:
1. I ran ecryptfs-setup-private
2. I put in the wrong password, but it succeeded anyway
3. I tried to rerun ecryptfs-setup-private with the --force switch, it wouldn't work
4. There was a PAM update that I saw go through yesterday? Not sure if it's related
5. The --force started to work and I can get it to work, but once I reboot, I lose access and get "keyctl_search: Required key not available"
6. 'ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase LOGIN_PASSPHRASE' returns "Unable to read salt value from user's .ecryptfsrc file; using default"
7. I typed in my own passphrase during setup, Private.sig and 'keyctl show' do return the same value.
