rule won't change group or permissions

rule won't change group or permissions

[Dexter Filmore]

Slackware 11.0rc3, kernel 2.6.17.9, udev 097

In ruled.d I added a file dvd.rules whcih contains:

BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdc", SYMLINK+="dvd", GROUP="xcdwrite", MODE="0666"
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdd", SYMLINK+="brenner", GROUP="xcdwrite", MODE="0666"

While the symlinks are set properly and hence the rule seems to be parsed and 
processed, the group and permissions settings do not take effect.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

Who can help?
CC me off list please, I'm not subscribed

It's possible another rule is overriding it, in which case using :=
instead of = with GROUP and MODE might work.

What's the output of `udevtest /block/hdc`?
