I have seen this happen when the system was not shut down cleanly. In particular I have seen it happen when the encrypted data was stored on a USB device where the connection between host and USB device was a bit unreliable. But I believe that other non-clean shutdowns while files are being written to could cause it as well.
Searching by inode as suggested in the answer by Giovanni can indeed be used to find the problematic file. Since ecryptfs preserves the inode numbers of the underlying file system, that command can be used to find both the encrypted and unencrypted path to the file.
Searching for the file on the underlying file system this way is significantly faster than searching through the ecryptfs file system. My measurements on one system showed a slowdown by a factor of 8 between the two with cold caches and a factor of 350 difference with hot caches.
Because of that overhead I suggest you first find the encrypted file on the underlying file system. For example in the default configuration on an Ubuntu system this command could be used:
find /home/.ecryptfs -inum 22545087
This should find the path to the encrypted file, which includes the name of the home directory in which it was found. Then when searching for the unencrypted file name, you can immediately limit the search to just one home directory:
find /home/username -inum 22545087
If the user has so many files that this is too slow, you can take advantage of the inode numbers to look up one directory level at a time. For instance if the encrypted file name was
/home/.ecryptfs/username/.Private/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.AAAAAA/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.BBBBBB/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.CCCCCC
You can first run
ls -i /home/.ecryptfs/username/.Private/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.AAAAAA
This will give you the inode number of the outermost directory. You can then look up the unencrypted version of that directory name:
ls -i /home/username | grep $INODE_NUMBER_FROM_LS
You can repeat this for each level in the directory hierarchy to get the unencrypted path without having to use as much CPU time as required to decrypt every single file name in that home directory.
