Good to know -- the last version I looked at didn't work that way.

Hmm, that'd explain the original problem:

- Using hotplug scripts old enough that they demand
  that /tmp be writable ... so the pure bash version of
  hotplugging won't work;

- Not having "usbmodules", so the bash code is the
  only option.

Yes, that was an old bug in the hotplug scripts, now
fixed.
