Yeah, this is why I wrote tarsnap-recrypt -- I started it as soon as I got
tarsnap 1.0.28 out, and it took longer than I expected due to needing to
take care of edge cases (e.g., checkpointed archives, inconsistent cache
directories, etc).

Let me know how much bandwidth you use running tarsnap-recrypt and I'll
credit your Tarsnap account for it.
