I can´t check it myself right away sorry but look for this: do you have an empty file /sys/block/sda/sda3/whole_disk ? or /sys/block/sdc/sdc3/whole_disk? If yes, then we need to check why udev is not catching the attribute. If no, it might be a regression in more recent kernels. I am running an old 2.6.24 here.
