just "sync" should work as it will sync the whole system, and generally the other filesystems have little or no data in them so sync fast.
sync <file> syncs a file, and the data is not queued up on the file/device /dev/sdc1 (a tiny amount is, but that will sync fast) the data is queue on the filesystem that sits ontop /dev/sdc1.

Is there a better command to see if the flush is finished?
The umount should hang till the writes are done. That's the way it always works for me.
Definitely. But so should the sync. Something's odd there. That said, I have never done sync with a device name. ToddAndMargo: was your device name correct? Syncing the wrong devie might well come back instantly.
