Colin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I think I have a 10.04 somewhere as a vmware 
guest and will try that. I didn't use a backup but the normal encrypted 
file as it was in my home directory and I assume that an upgrade honours 
that and doesn't touch files there.
However, I cannot imagine that something in cryptkeeper has changed as 
the version hasn't changed.
I'll let you know the results,
Joep
