What had you done after the 'CC' but before the '....'?  You should
have instructed minicom to "send" the file at that point and it should
tell you something about what's going on.

I just tried this (without actually sending anything) and I saw:
   RedBoot> load -m xm -v
   CCCCCCCCC...........Can't load '': Timed out
The whole thing took about a minute.  The 'C' characters come out every
3-4 seconds.  These characters are RedBoot telling minicom (X-modem) to
send packets with a CRC style checksum. If nothing shows up after 10
tries, it backs off to using simple Xor checksums (the '.') character.

Bottom line: RedBoot is not seeing anything come from minicom.  When
you are typing, you should be entering something like:
  load -r -x xm -b 0x600000^M^As
where '^M' is enter/return, '^As' is Control-A followed by 's' which
tells minicom to start sending the file.  It's not automatic, you
have to start the transfer manually.
