I suppose this is the same as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577798 Can you try killing udev daemon temporarily with "killall udevd" and see if you can reproduce? What distribution do you use? Basically, we have problem supporting the "watch" rule, so you can also try and see if that one is used somewhere grep watch /lib/udev/rules.d/* /etc/udev/rules.d/* (..most of the time it's the "watch" rule set in udisks' udev rules) Peter
