Hmm, no idea. What does:
  gcc -o blkgetsize blkgetsize.c

with the attached test program print?

What version of udev you are using:
  udevinfo -V

Please locate the udevdb directory specified in /etc/udev/udev.conf.
Usually:
  udev_db="/dev/.udevdb"

and remove the directory or any file with a similar name completely.
After that, run:
  /sbin/udevstart

How does /dev/.udevdb look like after that?
