Check the permissions on /dev/ttyUSB0 and make sure the user you're 
running the C program as has permissions.  You might also have a
look to see if there's an SELinux denial associated with the attempt.
It's not uncommon for udev and/or packagekit and/or SELinux to set up
incorrect permissions or not have a context rule--especially on a
device few people have around to test with (and I doubt a lot of us
have a USB<-->RS485 adapter).  :-)

If you have the source to the program you could change the open call to
a non-blocking open and print out the resulting error code:

	#include <string.h>
	#include <errno.h>

	extern int errno;
	if ((fdc = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RW | O_NONBLOCK)) < 0)
		printf("Can't open ttyUSB0: %s\n", strerror(errno));

You get the idea.
