This is getting slightly off-topic (but interesting nonetheless).
If you have a truecrypt volume of (say) 1G in size, and show that you
can fit almost 1G of data, allowing for filesystem overhead, wouldn't
that be sufficient to show that you don't have a hidden volume?
The truecrypt documentation doesn't seem clear on this, although it does
 indicate that prior to version 4.0 it was possible to overwrite &
damage a hidden volume by writing to the outer volume.
In this way it appears that versions prior to 4.0 are more secure, in
that they would allow you to overwrite the evidence (your hidden volume)
whilst "proving" that it didn't exist.
