I don't have a temporary system here, but in the final system line
42 of the udev script in init.d is
echo "" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
It says it mounted /sys, so I'm guessing that perhaps the
permissions or ownership are screwed somewhere. Please check that
you haven't missed something in chapter 7 from 'Creating the
/etc/fstab file' through to 'Changing Ownership'.
If it all seems to be there, what does the fstab say about /sys,
what are the permissions of ${CLFS}/sys, and of
${CLFS}/etc/rc.d/init.d/udev ? (And this week, I'd better make
clear that those questions are intended as pointers, I'm not going
to be around very much.)
As a long stop you could try instrumenting that bootscript to show
you the ouput of ls -l /sys/kernel and `whoami` (assuming that
whoami gets installed).
