No, I can't.  But it does, and generates no errors.

I didn't specifically disable caching.  At the time, didn't even occur
to me.

Perhaps, you should do some research on udev and writing rules
yourself.  Although, shortly after going to the trouble myself I found a
couple of utilities (udisks & udisks-glue) that do the same thing.  But
since I had already written the rule, I didn't install the utilities.

A point of order here:  All this applies to Wheezy; I don't know now
that Debian has adopted systemd and udev has it as a dependency that
all this will work the same.
