The next message logged should be one reporting the partitions found on
/dev/sdc.  If this wasn't your Nexus One, I'd say it was because the device
didn't have a partition table.  It's the lack of partitions that's
preventing the kde device notifier saying anything.

Does dmesg report any additional messages?  (Not everything is logged by
syslog).

Also does /proc/partitions show /dev/sdc or any partitions?

And finally a good way to check what /dev/sdc actually is is to run "file -s
/dev/sdc" (as root, of course).
