John,

The last option on this command is a name for the opened partition.  I'm not sure it would 
like having "/" in this name because it implies that the dm would have to create a 
directory in /dev/mapper.

Try doing:

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc FRED

You should get prompted for a passphrase at that point.

Then do:

# cryptsetup status FRED

And maybe:

# mount /dev/mapper/FRED /mnt
# df -h /mnt
