There are no additional messages or kernel logs from ntfs-3g which is not very surprising since ntfs-3g runs as a userspace FUSE process within the libguestfs appliance. I don't know where these logs would go, if indeed they go anywhere.

In any case you can find out if a file is encrypted using virt-rescue: Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
