Errror with Ecryptfs-mount-private due to setreuid

Following the archlinux guide on ecryptfs I worked on creating a passthrough encrypted folder on /home/share. I am doing this on OpenSUSE leap 15 with ecryptfs-utils. I properly generated the fstab like config file I called share.conf, and share.sig. Then I loaded the proper key into the kernel keyring. However when I run:



mount.ecryptfs_private share


I get the following output:



setreuid: Operation not permitted


At first this was cause by improper permissions for /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private. I solved this with a reinstall and now the permissions are:



-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  34152 Aug 20 12:49 /sbin/mount.ecryptfs


Any thoughts on what to do? I know from the code that mount.ecryptfs_private has do complex things with permissions because it needs root access to mount a fs, but needs to be the user to access their keyring, so it seems to be a fragile setup. I might start looking into SELinux settings for ecryptfs
