I suppose you have followed these rules:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/piklab/index.php?title=USB_Port_Problems#For_distributions_using_.22udev.22_.28Debian_Sid.2C_Ubuntu_6.2C7.2C8.2C....29

If the order of the lines matter, you have put 8001 before 8000, that's 
the only difference I can see.

You can also try with these rules which seem to be updated:

And JFYI, the package has been removed from testing and sid because of this:
