ecryptfs: Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING

Dear Folks,

when I do:
# mkdir secret
$ sudo mount -t ecryptfs secret secret
Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING; there is something wrong with your kernel keyring. Did you build key retention support into your kernel?
$ lsmod | grep crypt
ecryptfs               89320  0 

I've had this work on my laptop.

Why not on my x86_64 F14 box with all updates applied?

Google turns up the same question, unanswered, in the Fedora forums.
Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
