Mmm, by reading the bunch of data you've sent, I don't think so. Look:

ATTRS{serial}=="57442D575839314133303236343538"

Is on the same "parent device" that:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"

But no "scsi". Try by correcting that and test again. It should be 
something like:

***
SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="57442D575839314133303236343538", SYMLINK+="external%n"
***
