AFAICT there is a conceptual problem with TRIM + LUKS.

The idea behind LUKS is having the entire partition encrypted (usually filled 
with random garbage first), and then putting a filesystem on top of the random 
garbage.  This means that the LUKS partition is "always full".  The idea 
behind TRIM is to tell the SSD which blocks are now unused.  These seem to be 
mutually-exclusive things.

According to Wikipedia only certain filesystems support TRIM.  Ext4 and XFS 
do, but Ext3 supposedly only supports offline TRIMming via a system call.

Out of curiosity what error are you getting?
