I just created a truecrypt volume on an external harddrive using this
example from the man page:

truecrypt -N 1 /dev/hdc1 && mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/truecrypt1

When I tried to run both commands separately, it did not work, but if
you link them together using the && operation as above, it works fine.
Perhaps that's what is wrong? Also, I don't think it should be
'mounted' when you want to make a new filesystem. It should only be
mapped.

Best, Henk
