Truecrypt is a program used to encrypt and easily password protect content that you don't want otherwise available to whomever is using your PC. It creates a 'virtual drive' that can be mounted an unmounted whenever you want. This seems to be a reasonable workaround for not having the ability to password protect folders from within XBMC.
I've created two scripts, one to mount a Truecrypt File (.tc) and one to unmount it:

I've only tested these scripts in Windows, and I'm sure they'd have to be slightly updated for use with another OS. In order to use this script, the only thing you'll have to do is place these in your XBMC scripts folder, open up the settings.xml files and change it to the correct file path and drive letter you want truecrypt to mount.
