From which version did you upgraded? Since you talk about files
encrypted with the old encryption I assume that you upgraded from OC4.5.

Independent from the encryption, you should than first migrate to OC5
and from there to OC6.

So you already had files encrypted with the new encryption?
What do you mean with damaged? Is it still encrypted (if you look at
it with a text editor you should see a ASCII file with random letters)?

What was the result of the decryption. Did you got the response that
the decryption was successful?

I'm confused. Before upgrading to OC6 you used OC5 with encryption and
you still had files encrypted with the new encryption and with the old
encryption? How did this worked? During first run of the new encryption
all files should be migrated to the new one.

Please provide more details.
