Sorry for the non-threaded post, but I'm e-mailing from somewhere else.

I have looked everywhere on the drive using programs such as 'find'. I have ran:
$ find / -iname "*.jpg" -or "*.JPG"
Minor points that probably have no effect unless there's a *.jpg file in the current directory: use single, not double quotes, to avoid shell expansion. You want the asterisk to get passed into the find command as a parameter. Also, the "iname" says ignore case, so only one iteration is needed.
and the missing files are now listed.
Now or not?
I know enough to be able to find files. This is whats got me because I've never know an ext3 fs to do this; unless it's a bug with fuse-encfs.
This makes me think they are still *not* listed?
Last stab in the dark: any "undelete" capability on that file system? If the files are not found, I am guessing they have been deleted. Barring that facility, I hope you have a recent backup.
Good luck.
