I found the bug: sudo. i used 'sudo -u username mkdir foo' within my
script to make a directory (which should be owned by the user). this
works if i execute the script by hand but it doesn't work if it gets
invoked by udev automatically. well, strange behaviour and difficult to
find. 
lession learned: use chown/chmod over sudo.

thanks for the help anyway.
