Thanks, it works now.

Yes, I misunderstood the part saying this:
The NAME field given with the attribute NAME{all_partitions} will create
all 15 partitions of a blockdevice. This may be useful for removable
media devices.
I actually thought the NAME{all_partitions} referred to the device
name I had chosen. This was supported by the next part in the manpage,
"The NAME ,SYMLINK and PROGRAM fields support simple printf-like string
substitution".
Anyway, a working example is always the thing to avoid misunderstandings in
documentation.
