event is not used again. Why not just

char *envp[] = { "RESIZE=1", NULL };

I tried the following with your automatically resize udev rules.

(qemu) block_resize vd0 500
Check the fs size in guest, it is 500Mb

(qemu) block_resize vd0 1200
Check the fs size in guest, it is still 500Mb

Can you try resizing multiple times? Does it work?
