Not necessarily, though I think you're probably right.  It could be
related to the symlink, however.  You can try two things:

1. Set tmpdir to a path which is a symlink that points to a directory
that doesn't involve ENCFS.

2. If possible (and it may not be), point tmpdir at a directory inside
ENCFS which is a real directory, not a symlink.

If #1 doesn't work and/or #2 does work (assuming it's possible), it
may be related to the symlink, not ENCFS per se.  I would just mention
though that in the past I've used the newer NTFS support that uses
FUSE (as ENCFS does), and while in general I could read and write
files from and to the NTFS partition, audacious refused to play mp3's
from it.  The website acknowledged that as a problem with NTFS/FUSE...
So, I'm more inclined to think your problem is related to ENCFS (and
FUSE).
