|     losetup -e AES256 .....whatever

jari, i've done this "a few" time bevor - i think, i know how to handle it 
- but now i've a real problem :(  ... my testscript looks like this:


modprobe cryptoloop 2>&1 >/dev/null
modprobe aes 2>&1 >/dev/null

losetup -d /dev/loop0
echo $PW | $GPG | /sbin/losetup -e aes-256 -p 0 /dev/loop0 /cf/xcf0
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /cf/mnt/cf0

losetup -d /dev/loop0
echo $PW | $GPG | /sbin/losetup.x -e aes-256 -p 0 /dev/loop0 /cf/xcf0
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /cf/mnt/cf0

losetup -d /dev/loop0
echo $PW | $GPG | /sbin/losetup.old -e aes-256 -p 0 /dev/loop0 /cf/xcf0
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /cf/mnt/cf0

losetup -d /dev/loop0
echo $PW | $GPG | /sbin/losetup.orig -e aes-256 -p 0 /dev/loop0 /cf/xcf0
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /cf/mnt/cf0


yust to test all available (4) versions of losetup - in this case with 
"aes-256" - in an easy to handle maner ... i've tested this wiht AES256 
too. and each and every time the mount fails :((

cheers
