So does anyone have a suggestion as to where I have gone wrong? It's been over half a decade since I've gone through this and even longer since I was doing the magic dance with patching and building my own losetup, mount, etc...
If you want something simple, use LUKS. cryptsetup and dmcrypt is in all distributions by default. Truecrypt uses dmcrypt by default as backend as well. Of course, if you want use loop-aes, you have to patch all utilities and kernel, it is not so complicated. (cryptsetup can run loop-aes compatible mode as well and can allocate loop device as well. But it is your choice what encryption and utility to use to use of course.) For default losetup from util-linux, encryption option is in fact deprecated in favor to cryptsetup.
