Thanks for the suggestion.  Am I right in thinking you'd need 
cryptkeeper installed and running on the computer you're using to access 
the files?

With TrueCrypt, it should be possible to have the encrypted volume and 
the Portable TrueCrypt app on the server (e.g. Dropbox), which would let 
you access the volume from any computer, even if it didn't have 
TrueCrypt installed.

Trouble is, I can't find how to install the Portable app files on the 
server with the TrueCrypt 6.3 I have running on my Karmic system.  :-(
