Q:

Can't get Juniper working on Ubuntu 14.04 The pieces work but whole does not

I really need some help troubleshooting this.  
I've been here already: 
How to install Juniper VPN on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? 
http://mad-scientist.us/juniper.html
The client opens and then closes.  It runs fine from the command line but doesn't connect to anything.  
Firewall is down:
user@box:~$ firewall
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 21770 packets, 3492K bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 22171 packets, 1501K bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
user@box:~$ 

As far as I can tell all of the 32 bit packages are installed.  I'm seeing no Exceptions or warnings that suggest one might be missing.  Do I know all the places to look for these?  No, probably not, but I have:
user@box ~ $ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 zlib1g:i386 libgtk2-perl libwww-perl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

libwww-perl is already the newest version. 
libgtk2-perl is already the newest version. 
zlib1g:i386 is already the newest version. 
libc6:i386 is already the newest version.

...and also:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
[sudo] password for user: 
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java). 

  Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1071      auto mode
  1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1071      manual mode
  2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java    1070      manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 

When started from CLI:
user@box:~$ sudo msjnc --connect --root 
Enter your password or PID+SecureID: 
Connecting to vpn.company.com (company) ................................. failed
The Juniper Network Connect VPN session did not start. 

Also:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java -classpath /home/user/.juniper_networks/network_connect/NC.jar NC ncui -h vpn.company.com -n -t -x

The above command pops up the window and it does prompt for a password but it drops dead when I enter it.  What I'm afraid of is that there might be an additional password that I don't know of, similar to Cisco VPN networking.  
The update-alternatives link has been created in /usr/sbin. 

A:

The Juniper connection tools can't run on an encrypted partition.  This is what I was experiencing.  IMHO, this is completely ludicrous.
