As noted on the Ubuntu forums page you reference, the TrueCrypt page requires an account and login to view the details.
Given that you haven't provided that info here, I'm taking a blind shot
(shot in the dark, whatever;) with this.
Does the 'uid=1000' follow the '-o' option? And, if it does, but there
are other options used with it, is it a comma separated list? The
pertinent part of the 'mount' man page is:
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma
separated string of options. Some of these options are only
useful when they appear in the /etc/fstab file.
And many of the options are filesystem specific, so a final question:
Does the FS being mounted support the option? The 'uid=...' is listed
under specific filesystem types, implying some don't support the
concept.
