My user account tied to my espionage folder has gone corrupt and I need to know how to open my encrypted folder and move it to my new user account.

Thanks

Hello,
What you need to do is:
Quit Espionage if it is running
Go to your home folder/Library/Application Support/ and rename the Espionage folder to Espionage.old
Start Espionage, and this will initiate the setup wizard as if you would start Espionage the first time.
It will ask you to decide if you want a separate keychain or use the user's. I suggest to use a separate, exactly to avoid problems like you have now.
Pick a new password, and once done, it will create a new keychain for Espionage and set the password of the keychain to the one you just typed.
Once the setup wizard closes, you will end up with Espionage window but with no folders inside.
Now drag the protected folders to Espionage window, it will ask you to type in the password you assigned to that folder.
If all fine, it will add the folder to Espionage and add the password for that folder into the Espionage keychain.

Let me know if it worked.
Cheers
Zsolt
