If you mount them with a shell command, you could write a wrapper shell script
that you invoke instead of that command, like such:

You previously did

$ truemount /dev/sda3 /encrypted

You write a shell script:

-----8<---cut here--->8-----
#!/bin/sh

truemount "$1" "$2"

find "$2"/'*.lock' -delete
-----8<---cut here--->8-----

Call this shell script mytrue, or such, and from now on use

$ mytrue /dev/sda3 /encrypted

Please don't use this actual script. It needs a whole bunch of extra safeguards
because the find/delete command is so destructive.

Just an idea. Good luck.

Peter.

PS: I haven't ever used truecrypt, I just invented a command name :).
