I have never seen udev rules so complicated as on SuSE. When I was testing
another distro it was a fairly straight-forward syntax but I find that the
rules I wrote for specific equipment do not work on SuSE 10. Guess I
shouldn't have been surprised. :-\

Here's the info from 'udevinfo -e':
P: /block/sda
N: sda
S: disk/by-id/usb-CREATIVE_Zen_Nano_0002F5BA1945C801
S: disk/by-path/usb-0002F5BA1945C801:0:0:0
E: ID_VENDOR=CREATIVE
E: ID_MODEL=Zen_Nano
E: ID_REVISION=0001
E: ID_SERIAL=CREATIVE_Zen_Nano_0002F5BA1945C801
E: ID_TYPE=disk
E: ID_BUS=usb
E: ID_PATH=usb-0002F5BA1945C801:0:0:0

P: /block/sda/sda1
N: sda1
S: disk/by-id/usb-CREATIVE_Zen_Nano_0002F5BA1945C801-part1
S: disk/by-path/usb-0002F5BA1945C801:0:0:0-part1
E: ID_VENDOR=CREATIVE
E: ID_MODEL=Zen_Nano
E: ID_REVISION=0001
E: ID_SERIAL=CREATIVE_Zen_Nano_0002F5BA1945C801
E: ID_TYPE=disk
E: ID_BUS=usb
E: ID_PATH=usb-0002F5BA1945C801:0:0:0
E: ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
E: ID_FS_TYPE=vfat
E: ID_FS_VERSION=FAT16
E: ID_FS_UUID=
E: ID_FS_LABEL=
E: ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=

Here's my rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_PATH}=="usb-0002F5BA1945C801:0:0:0",
SYMLINK+="zen", OWNER=="yogich", GROUP=="users"

Given the fact that I used the 55-cdrom.rules syntax as a guide --as well as
having read the man pages-- I fully expected this rule to work post
'udevstart' but it did not. I am clueless as to why not, and would
appreciate some help.

Thanks!
