You really want it to run for *all* your SCSI devices?

I was trying to get it work before I narrowed down the parameters so
that it matched my Archos.

zenity won't get DISPLAY set so probably won't work :)

Good to know.

I suppose we shold expect that if you're not running as root :)

Well, it should have run. :) I'd be inclined to recompile udev with
DEBUG defined and look for debug-priority syslog messages, myself.

(What version of udev is this? udev is evolving fast and there have been
a number of bugs in the RUN area, some of which could incorrectly
suppress execution.)

It is ubuntu feisty's udev. The package's version number is: 108-0ubuntu4.
