I get roughly the same output in daemon.log as Benjamin:

Apr 27 16:56:46 hostname hald[4243]: 16:56:46.111 [I] blockdev.c:874: block_add: sysfs_path=/sys/block/sdc/sdc1 dev=/dev/sdc1 is_part=1, parent=0x080cf560
Apr 27 16:56:46 hostname hald[4243]: 16:56:46.112 [I] blockdev.c:1448: Ignoring hotplug event - cannot read 'size'
Apr 27 16:56:46 hostname hald[4243]: 16:56:46.112 [W] blockdev.c:1481: Not adding device object

Not sure why it's failing to read the size though:

root@hostname:/etc/init.d# cat /sys/block/sdc/sdc1/size
4294967292
root@hostname:/etc/init.d#

I also tried repartitioning the 828 using cfdisk, but the kernel just doesn't seem to like the apparent geometry of the device. I somehow managed to get it recognised with a single FAT32 partition, though it showed up as 30GB! The walkman itself wouldn't boot with this, so in the end I restored the original disk image.
