Partition C is a "special" partition representing the whole disk. It is
explicitly forbidden to use it for volumes.
I believe that new versions of Vinum enforce this restriction.
You should be able to fix this by creating a duplicate entry in your
disklabel with another partition letter ...
c: 60074721 0 unused # (Cyl. 0 - 59597*)
e: 60074721 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 59597*)
And then re-creating your vinum conf with e instead of c.
