Ok. There has nothing else changed, that I could think of what could cause this.

The code in udev that prints this message looks like:
  err("symlink(%s, %s) failed: %s", linktarget, filename, strerror(errno));

That doesn't really match what you posted. Are there chars missing?
Can you please recheck?

And what does:
 udevtest /block/sdc
print?

Thanks,
