Don't know if the code conforms to the C and Fortran standards,
but this appears to work.

% cat foo.c

#include <stdio.h>
void
foo(char *s)
{
   printf("%s\n", s);
}

% cat bar.f90

program bar
  use iso_c_binding
  character(len=5,kind=c_char) :: s
  interface
    subroutine foo(s) bind(c)
      use iso_c_binding
      character(len=1, kind=c_char) :: s
    end subroutine foo
  end interface
  s = 'abcd'
  call foo(s // char(0))
end program bar

% gcc46 -c foo.c
% gfortran46 -o z bar.f90 foo.c
% ./z
abcd 

It should be straight forward to modify your code.  The 
key is to null terminate the string you are passing into
the C routine, i.e., the char(0) above.
