Make sure you have access to /dev/sdc.  If you are only going to copy
info from the hard disk, read-only access is fine.  If you're going to
write to the disk, you will need read/write access.

Make sure that after you set the variable you export it.

On our system "Beaut" we can access a Mac hard disk like this:

beaut 4.6 ls -l /dev/sdb
brw-rw-r--   1 root     ardi       8,  16 Jan 28  1994 /dev/sdb
beaut 4.7 export MacVolumes=/dev/sdb
beaut 4.8 executor

If that doesn't work for you, let me know.  There are some
potential disk configurations that we may not recognize.
