That test failed so the "empty" or "NULL" key (aka "echo -n")
is not the key. These should not work either

printf '' | geli
printf '\000'
printf '\n'
printf ' '
printf 'notthekey'

and only

cat /path/to/your/keyfile | geli

should work.

Thank you for the clarification. I tested all of my geli devices and indeed anything I try other than the correct keyfile for that device produces that error so I'm assuming that means I don't need to re-crypt things.
