I dislike abbreviations.  I also think that we should make commands 
verbs.  So I'd like to change the name to set_block_password and then we 
can alias block_passwd to that command if we need to.

What happens if:

1) device does not exist
2) media is not present
3) block format does not support encryption
4) password is invalid
