IIRC from the Security Now podcast there is a setting in the newer versions of True Crypt that allows you to tell it to modify the date of the container. It didn't do this originally buy default to stay in stealth mode... but many people had problems, especially since backup programs didn't see the true crypt file as modified.

You should check the truecrypt docs or their forums to see how to force it to update the modified date on the container file.
