I suspect that the problem is with writes of public key blocks. It's
probably broken and I don't have time to debug it any further.

CFS is (was?) research software, as were all of the various derivative
projects.  I would not recommend that you use CFS for ensuring the
safety of your personal storage.

I'm sure you're aware of them, but there are numerous services that
you can consider, some of whom allow you to fully encrypt your files
prior to being uploaded to the "cloud" (like SpiderOak) and others
(such as CrashPlan) that allow you to back up data on your friend's
machines. However, I have not used any of these services so you'd have
to investigate them yourself.

Good luck.
