I will go out on a limb and suggest you mount the usb drive on /mnt/hd
(assuming that's not being used for something else at the time.)
When I mount a device and want to know how the kernel sees it I use 'tail
-f /var/log/messages'[1] before I plug in the USB device. The kernel tells us
what drive it sees; likely /dev/sdc in your case.

/var/log/syslog.
