crypto_LUKS mounts fail (rawhide)

I do not believe this is an issue with Rawhide.  Try to unlock the partition
by issuing a

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 usbStick

This command should create a block device '/dev/mapper/usbStick' which you
should be able to mount normally

mount /dev/mapper/usbStick /mnt
