Can't give you a full solution, and have no experience with FreeOTFE,
but atleast one of your two points against TrueCrypt can be worked
around. See below.

Hi,

I'm working in a large enterprise that will look next year for an "enterprise class solution" that can handle all the 
life cycle of USB key that use encryption.

But now, we have to find a quick win solution that we can put in production shortly with a limited budget.

I personally used Truecrypt for several years but here the reason why I don’t want to use it for an enterprise 
solution:

1-If the user lost the password of his USB key, you are dead

You can backup the initial headers with a known password and then let
the user change the password
(http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=program-menu)

Although you still need admin privileges to load the TrueCrypt drivers...
