Recovering files from a decrypted .Private directory

Using Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit. Originally, I asked this on askubuntu - https://askubuntu.com/questions/831300/cannot-see-contents-of-home-directory-after-error-and-restart - and was then told to come here. I'm on my live USB right now. I've successfully run sudo ecryptfs-recover-private, with the data being sent to /tmp/ecryptfs.8o5N9a3d. The latter is filled with folders I cannot decipher, all named things like ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.[string of characters]. What is the next step in getting these files back to their old, usable state? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
