11 Have you tried running udevadm test on one of the affected nodes?
12
13 For example
14
15 % sudo udevadm info --name=/dev/video0 | grep '^P:'
16 P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:01.0/video4linux/video0
17
18 % sudo udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:01.0/video4linux/video0
19 [lots of output about rules being read and actions done]
