Is DMA working for you (despite the error message)?  If yes, just ignore
the message.

In my system the same error message appears, but DMA *is* activated on
my device (by default, it's off.  I had to edit “hdparm.conf” just like
you to enable it).

run “sudo hdparm /dev/hdc” and see if DMA is enabled or not.
