Did you ever figure this out? What was happening that you didn't want
to happen? Was it that you didn't want the system to not make a
symlink, and the system didn't make one? :)
I have never tried doing what you are talking about in that manner.
Looking at a sample udev.rules in this Ubuntu system, I see "=="s (not
"="s) after KERNEL entries and after SYSFS{*} entries, and every SYMLINK
entry has a "+=" (not "="). But I know nothing about udev.rules syntax
yet....
