Question encryptfs password did not update after passwd change - Ubuntu 12.10


My encrypted home directory password did not change after updating my user password and now I have to log in as a different user to mount the volume:

Code:
new-user@desktop:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for new-user: 
root@desktop:/home/new-user# su - old-user
Signature not found in user keyring
Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

old-user@desktop:~$ ecryptfs-mount-private
Enter your login passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [e6be57ref788xz32a] into the user session keyring

INFO: Your private directory has been mounted.
INFO: To see this change in your current shell:
cd /home/old-user


Where do I change this to make it auto mount my old-user? I tried changing the password in seahorse but it did not seem to work... maybe I changed the wrong password or that's the wrong place???
