From <http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html>:

  ... while it is legal to combine the attributes from the device in
  question and a single parent device, you cannot mix-and-match
  attributes from multiple parent devices - your rule will not work.

From the output of `udevadm info` you posted later, the parent device
with ATTRS{serial}=="2HBEQTN2" has SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", not "block"
or "scsi".  That's the only problem I noticed, but I didn't look too
hard after seeing that one.
