I feel pretty confident in saying that you're the first person to try
running beagle on an encrypted filesystem.  I don't know anything
about /etc/cryptotab, but if that is where you provide the mount options
for the underlying file system, that is probably the right place to do
it.

Try it out and let us know how it goes. :)
