If you used same version of aespipe to encrypt and decrypt, and same command
line syntax (except -d option for decrypt), it should have decrypted your
file system correctly. aespipe-v2.1c and older do not not understand
multi-key mode. Using aespipe-v2.1c with multi-key gpg key files will result
in mess. What version of aespipe you used to encrypt and decrypt? If both
were v2.2a or later and you still can't mount your file system, then I
conclude that your file system is FUBAR. Time to re-install and/or restore
from backups.
