[MPlayer-users] mplayer doesn't work on cryptographic filesystem

I'm using a 3des cryptographic filesystem that shadows
a real disk partition and the encryption/decryption is
handled by an NFS-like daemon, via its mountpoint.

/home/me/locked/

shows encrypted crap

/secure/locked/

shows real files once I enter the cattach command with
the correct key.

the files in the secure area are
readable/editable/whatever by typical unix/linux
commands....however, mplayer says "file not found"
when attempting to play an avi file stored in the CFS.

if I enter

# strace mplayer /secure/locked/mymovie.avi 

it works,but 

# mplayer /secure/locked/mymovie.avi

does not work...says file not found?

any thoughts why?  what kind of (statting) is mplayer
doing before opening the file that is incompatible
with the cfs?
