(I'm paraphrasing here) People don't know whether or not we filmed Tom and the Old Forest. ;) If Jackson & Co. had filmed Tom and the Old Forest, I image that they would have filmed the encounter in the Barrow-downs as well. However, there is no indication of any such missing scene. In fact, Strider has to provide the weapons to the Hobbits that they otherwise recovered from the barrow.
