Is there a file named "vendor" for your disc in /sys?
If yes, what is in there?

You are missing the number replacement, otherwise only your disk
will be named and not the partitions:
NAME="usb_disk%n"

There is no namedev.config in 008, it was renamed to
udev.config in 005 and later to udev.rules.

Thats the default, no rule is matching.
Please make sure, as mentioned above if the kernel is exporting the file
"vendor" what you are trying to match against.

Please try:
REPLACE, KERNEL="sda*", NAME="usb_disk%n"
This works only for the first scsi-device, but we can see if udev is working.

You can try "make DEBUG=true" an look at udev's debug in your syslog,
while connecting the disc.

thanks,
