Hi Tom, try to test copying specifically a file you know throws an error.
You might want to check how many characters there is on filename, I found
some references that point 140 characters as the maximum possible for
encryptfs:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/32795/what-is-the-maximum-allowed-filename-and-folder-size-with-ecryptfs

To copy using CLI:
$ cp /path/FILENAME_FROM /path/FILENAME_TO
