Second thought before I'm afk: If you meant to say that sda6 is an
encrypted PV (which builds VG dubby), do you get the same problem for
lv_home? And what does dumpe2fs say about the LV's filesystems?

 
[root@localhost ~]# dumpe2fs /dev/sda6
dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
dumpe2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda6
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock

/dev/sda6 is the encrypted PV.  It holds VG_dubby.
