Securing local Evernote data on the Mac

I'm enjoying Evernote thus far, and have upgraded to a premium membership. The only thing bothering me was that my local data was left unencrypted -- unless I were to encrypt each and every note individually.

My workaround -- create an encrypted sparsebundle, copy everything in "~/Library/Application Support/Evernote" into it, and create a symbolic link from that location to the mount point ("/Volumes/Evernote").

So long as I remember to mount the encrypted volume before I launch Evernote, everything seems to work just fine so far, and all my data is encrypted. However, if you try this yourself beware that there may be problems that I have not yet encountered.
