loop-AES through kernel upgrade

I'm posting here in the in the hope that someone can help (Jari?)

In any case, I was running loop-AES on two separate machines, my laptop and my 
workstation (loop-aes 3.0a, loop-aes-ciphers 3.0a, aespipe 2.3a, 
loop-aes-utils 2.12p, all built as debs) on kernel 2.6.9. I recompiled the 
kernels on both, removing loop and cryptoloop, as stated in the 
loop-AES.README. I created a partition (/dev/vg00/lv_crypt) and followed 
example 2 from the loop-AES.README. Mounted the partition, set up keys (65 
keys, gpg encrypted, stored on my USB thumb drive). Was able to mount the 
partition and copy my data over. Everything was copecetic, until I upgraded 
the machines to 2.6.10. Now when I try to mount 
the encrypted partition, I get 

[storm@volga ~]$ mount ../docs/
Password: 
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

dmesg tells me

ReiserFS: loop0: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs 
on loop3

Even if I boot back into 2.6.9, the same indications occur. I upgraded to 
3.0b, and am getting the same indications. Anyone know why 
this is happening or a method to recover the info on the partition? Nothing 
changed on the machines other than the kernels and the loop-aes modules with 
the kernels.
