Just checked my own, it works fine. Maybe home premium doesn't support it? You'll know it's encrypted if the files are blue, if you didn't know

Are you sure the file you want to encrypt is on an NTFS partition and not FAT32?

Na, you're RAID setup is actually irrelevant here. Are you using any compression on the drive?

Okay, it turns out you can only encrypt files in the Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate versions of Vista. http://www.jdenison.com/?p=337
