10 Thanks for the input. But that didn't help.

12 I wrote this rule about 15 months ago. So unfortunately I don't quite
13 remember how udev works. Just now looking at the udevinfo output again
14 while I am awake makes me suspect that perhaps the match
15 "SYSFS{serial}" may need to be changed to "ATTRS{...}". But that would
16 not solve the problem of udev not recognizing USB-storage as a parent
17 as the block device.

19 I'm about to run out for some errands now. I'll play around with it
20 more later tonight.
