Indeed, removing the said part would fix it.

Note that NAME="%k" is redundant: suppose you have a disk /dev/sda1,
in udev, its kernel device (%k) is "sda1" already, so there's no need
to say "hey udev, please create the device at /dev/$NAME instead of
/dev/%k, ok?". ;)

NAME="something" should be used if You wanted to have a device to be
created under somewhere other than /dev/%k. An example of this is in
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules where video1394 devices are
created under /dev/video1394/%k.
