I forgot to ask: What version of loop-AES are you using?

build-initrd.sh script from loop-AES versions older than v2.0e will not work
properly with recent gentoo glibc. In loop-AES-v2.0e you have to set
USEDIETLIBC=1. In loop-AES-v2.0f that is the default. vsyscall enabled glibc
incompatility with build-initrd.sh was one of the reasons why v2.0f was
released so quickly after v2.0e.

Also, are you sure that your mount and losetup programs are from
loop-AES-v2.0b or later? If they are older, multi-key mode will fail.
