I would try purging udev, then purging hotplug and reinstalling udev (I
had warnings when installing udev to purge hotplug).
Anyway, mine works but there are loads of rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/
%ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
020_permissions.rules z25_persistent-net.rules
025_libgphoto2.rules z45_persistent-net-generator.rules
025_libsane.rules z50_run.rules
025_logitechmouse.rules z55_hotplug.rules
udev.rules z60_hdparm.rules
z20_persistent-input.rules z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
z20_persistent.rules z75_cd-aliases-generator.rules
z25_persistent-cd.rules
They should be created for you, but I wonder if your hotplug package was
interfering?
