What the US is really after, is preventing Kim Dotcom from having all the data. What it wants is to provide only what it will use against Kim as the defense data. There's a lot of difference in what is available and what can be used depending on which way it goes.
Kim has some data in there from home security cameras his lawyer claims will help absolve Kim of wrong doing merely by showing the raid was done improperly. It's already known it was improperly done as the wrong paperwork was used for the allowance of the raid. The paperwork used was one for foreign companies within New Zealand that allows confiscation prior to court, because of the danger of the individual fleeing before justice can be served. This is not the case with Kim. The raid took place in New Zealand. The offices for Megaupload are in Hong Kong. No offices reside in New Zealand to confiscate.

I wouldnt be surprised if some of those files are "lost", before they are handed back to Kim and the other owners, the same way that the Kiwi cops "lost" the videos of the illegal search & seize raid in Kim's home & office in Kiwi.
