Maybe (maybe) because the device ID is not recognized by the "berry_charge" kernel module, so you should submit a bug report (if there isn't one already) and Greg the maintainer will add it. Plug in your device and run (as root) 'lsusb -v >lsusb_output.txt" then take a look at that text file. What does the line "idProduct" say under the appropriate "Research in Motion" device entry?

For a Pearl and Curve that value is 0x0006 and for 8700 and older it's 0x0001; these are (to my knowledge) the only two idProducts the driver knows about. Is the 8830 a 0x0006 device?

Also, are you plugging into a hub or directly into the computer? If you're plugging intoa hub, try a direct connect to the PC as a test.
