Maybe the problem is related to this (from udev's NEWS.Debian.gz):

udev (0.098-1) experimental; urgency=low

  Starting with this release the rules files keys BUS, ID, SYSFS and DRIVER
  have been deprecated. While rules using the old syntax will continue to
  work, custom rules files using these keys should be updated.
  For details please consult /usr/share/doc/udev/RELEASE-NOTES.gz .

It seems that SYSFS is now replaced by ATTRS; maybe your last upgrade
removed the support for the legacy keys.
