problem creating a hidden truecrypt partiton

I'm trying to get a hidden truecrypt-container on my external drive. First I created a normal truecrypt partition (about 825GB) as /dev/sdb2. Then I mount it with --filesystem=none and create an ext3-filesystem on the newly mapped device (/dev/mapper/truecrypt1). Then I try to create a hidden volume of about 750GB (I tried creating on both, /dev/sdb2 and /dev/mapper/truecrypt1). I can mount it and create a filesystem on it using the 'hidden-password'.

However, trying to mount the normal truecrypt volume with the 'normal-password' I alwyas get

Error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/truecrypt1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

like if the filesystem had been damaged.

What do I do wrong?

They say if you reverse play a Windows CD you can hear satanic verses... But wanna know what's even worse? If you forward play it, it's gonna install Windows on your system!
