    Yes it should work. It looks like your block sizes are out of wack. It has
    to encrypt and decrypt the data in blocks of a particular size and your IV
    is that size, so I would guess 16 bytes (you did not mentiont the
    algorithm). Can you post your encrypt snippet and decrypt snippet. I
    should be able to spot the problem.
