Hi John and Tony,
I hope I understand your input. Are you saying that I should change the 
NAME to SYMLINK in my file as follows ?

bob@t40:/etc/udev/rules.d$ cat 00usbkey.rules
BUS="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}="IBM", SYSFS{product}="USB 2.0 Memory 
Key", SYMLINK="usbkey%n", GROUP="disk", MODE="0660"

Hoping to have understood I edited as above, /etc/init.d/udev restart

Insert USB key but the rule we have written does not seem to be applied 
:( :( :( :( Only /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 get created.

All seems fine in terms of processes and rights :(
