eix ivman
May just do the trick. It's what I use on systems with lots of different media
being attached. It even discovered my sony handycam DCR SR42 (one i figured out
that you have to surf thru a few menus and push a few buttons on the camera's
touch screen).
If you want something locked down, udev is your most reliable method,
particulary if the device is always on your system. If
you, like most of use, 'plug in' all sorts of different usb type devices
over the coarse of a week, IVMAN is my recommendation.
Ivman is like dating, you try lots of different things
udev is where you are serious and dedicated
ymmv-hth,
