It has nothing to do with the file system data. TrueCrypt containers on network shares is unreliable unless users are diligent about correctly mounting and dismounting them. One simple mistake can ruin the entire file system. You've seen the results of such a mistake first hand. Long story short: don't put TrueCrypt containers on network shares. Use something else like EncFS as Ned suggested. -- Rich P.
