That's because it works ;) I've been using this setup with encrypted
files for +2 years now. You don't have to care about loopX anymore,
fstab will do anything needed.

I do something like that:

+mhentges@mhcln01:/etc/ssh >mount /home/mhentges/.safe 
Available keysizes (bits): 128 192 256 
Keysize: 256
Passwort: 
+mhentges@mhcln01:/etc/ssh >

And then it's mounted. All you need is the crypto-enabled mount, and
losetup tools.

+mhentges@mhcln01:/etc/ssh >mount
[...]
/home/mhentges/.safe on /home/mhentges/Data/Safe type reiserfs
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,loop=/dev/loop1,encryption=twofish)
+mhentges@mhcln01:/etc/ssh >

Dunno why it doesn't work for you....
