It seems a bit strange to me that an older version of 50-udev.rules
would only contain one line. (I just looked at this file for Lenny, udev
0.125-7+lenny3; it has 108 lines.) Did you check your filesystems and
the SMART information of your hard drive recently?

I am glad to hear that the problem is solved. It might be a good idea to
check if you have other duplicate rules files on your system. The
following bash one-liner should list all files in /etc/udev/rules.d/
that also exist in /lib/udev/rules.d/:
for FILE in /etc/udev/rules.d/*; do [[ -a /lib/udev/rules.d/${FILE##*/} ]] && echo $FILE; done
