You created a reiserfs filesystem on partition /dev/sdc3, inside an
encryption layer. Since reiserfs supports unix style file permissions, a
normal user might just not have sufficient rights to write to the
filesystem with the default permissions after formatting. Therefore, if
you want the filesystem to be writable by all users and groups, you'll
have to change permissions and/or ownership accordingly (creating
subdirectories on the filesystem in question is not necessary to achieve
this).

Many filesystems commonly used on flash drives (such as various
incarnation of vfat) do not have support for file permission/ownership
themselves. Linux overlays fake permissions on these filesystems, and
(at least on most modern distributions) this is done in favor of regular
users so that you have read and write permissions.
