udev 057-1 - /dev/hdc permissions wrong

I upgraded to udev-057-1 and found that my DVD burners group permissions have been set to `disk' instead of `optical'

[root@64-3200 father]# pacman -Ss udev
current/udev 057-1
    The userspace dev tools (udev)
extra/hwd 4.7-1
    Hardware detect for Arch Linux (devfs and udev).
[root@64-3200 father]# pacman -Qs udev
local/udev 057-1
    The userspace dev tools (udev)
[root@64-3200 father]# ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22, 0 2005-05-23 22:31 /dev/hdc

in my /etc/udev/rules.d/00.rules file has the following

KERNEL="hdc", NAME="hdc", GROUP="optical", SYMLINK="dvd"
KERNEL="nvidia*", GROUP="video", MODE="0666"

# For VMWare
# tty devices
KERNEL="tty[0-9]*", NAME="vc/%n", SYMLINK="%k"

# floppy devices
KERNEL="fd[0-9]*", NAME="floppy/%n" , SYMLINK="fd%n"

which i would've thought would override the group permissions, but doesnt

can someone provide the correct 00.rules file format for that entry.. or correct the udev permissions in the package

thanks

try disabling your self defined rule, there is no need for defining symlinks for dvd, it's done automatically. then all should be fine
