this is my current work around: truncate before copy into ecryptfs
folder:

#!/bin/bash
#
#   Bash Script to truncate file names
#

ROOT="/path/to/your/files/with/long/names"
SIZE=110

find "$ROOT" -type f | \
while read filepath1; do
  path=$(dirname   "$filepath1")
  file1=$(basename "$filepath1")
  name1=${file1%.*}
  extn=${file1##*.}
  if [ ${#name1} -gt $SIZE ] ; then
    name2=$(echo $name1 | cut -c1-$SIZE)
    file2="${name2}.${extn}"
    filepath2="$path/$file2"
    echo "1 :: $filepath1"
    echo "2 :: $filepath2"
    mv "$filepath1" "$filepath2"
  else
    #   echo $name1
    :
  fi
done
