Thanks, I added the two rules 

    # USB devices
    #
    KERNEL="hiddev*",       NAME="usb/hid/%k"

    # ONCORE device
    #
    KERNEL="ttyS*", SYMLINK="oncore.pps.%n oncore.serial.%n"

and everything is back to normal.

Its just 'kinda spooky, when you KNOW that you did a mknod, or you
KNOW that you made the symbolic link, to have them disappear the
next time you do a reboot.

I wasted a good deal of time trying to figure out why a program
was NOT running, since I KNEW that I had made the node... having it
disapper ws the last thing I expected to happen.

So, I have copies of the rules everywhere here at home now, and will
copy them to my machines at the lab on Monday...

Thanks again.
