The problem is here:-

uint8_t *c_string = (uint8_t*)string.toUInt();

That converts the string to an unsigned integer what you want is a 
pointer to the data that represents the string. Something like this:

uint8_t *c_string = (uint8_t*)string.ascii();
or
uint8_t *c_string = (uint8_t*)string.local8bit();

should work.
