it is better to change this script to return list of symlinks and use

ACTION="add", BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sr[0-9]*", SYSFS{type}="5",
PROGRAM="/lib/udev/cdsymlinks.sh", SYMLINK="%c"

In this case symlinks will be deleted by udev in "remove". It also allows 
querying for them using udevinfo.

sysfs entry for device is not available on "remove".
