The weird thing is, when I use the USB disk without encryption, it works
fine.

So, dumping a non-encrypted partition to an encrypted disk works. As
does dumping from an encrypted partition to a non-encrypted disk.

Only in the case of where both are encrypted it fails.

I tried testing the USB disk with smartctl, but it failed with a SCSI
command error. :-(
