Dan-

The automatic mounting is triggered each time PAM is used to
authenticate a new session (such as a new login, or new ssh session).

The automatic unmount is triggered each time PAM closes a session
(such as exiting an ssh session).

If you have cronjobs that are ssh'ing into this box, and then either
exiting, or timing out, that would very well cause your private
directory to unmount.

In that case, you should configure your system to NOT automatically
unmount ~/Private. You can do this by:
 $ rm ~/.ecryptfs/auto-umount

Please try that, and then please respond here if you still have random unmounts.
