Not a good ideal to reset tablet if you have apps moved to sdcard, that is what's causing your problems.

The cause is moving the apps, if you don't move your apps to sdcard you won't see the error.

Correct as everything is on sdcard nothing is moved. Moving apps to sdcard requires system to follow symbolic link from data to hidden files on sdcard, this link can and does get corrupt, erased, damaged so the system shows encryption error. This error means system can't find or mount hidden files, cause the symbolic link was lost.

There are scripts but i have never used them, so can't say how well they work or not. I am sure they would have to be modified for coby I doubt they could be used as is.

Replacement 8042 arrived from Coby yesterday. It works much better. If you get repeated encryption errors and the tablet is under warrany my advice is to return it for replacement. It cost me $15 for service handling plus shipping which didn't make me happy, but the replacement solved the problem.
