ok, but the RUN key is intended to run external script as root, isn't it?
like modprobe commands or whethever
so why this rule don't execute the command?
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Sony DSC", KERNEL=="sda1", ACTION=="add", 
SYMLINK+="digitalcamera", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe fuse"

fuse module for example is not loaded
is my version of udev too old?
it's udev64 

thanks
