Mike, thanks for the info. I also found the following link for Olympus
Digital Accessories Chart.

Seems the Olympus flash bracket requires the FL-CB02 hot shoe to flash
cable which "Provides off-camera TTL flash operation for hotshoe mount
Olympus digital cameras to FL-BK01 Flash Bracket." This will allow the
C-5050 hot shoe to connect to the flash connector.
