[SOLVED] udev -175-1 custom rules no longer being processed

I have the following in my local.rules file. All was working until today now they have stopped being processed.

BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="IBM-DTLA" KERNEL=="sd*1", SYMLINK="icybox"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Verbatim", ATTRS{product}=="Store 'n' Go", ATTRS{serial}=="e810c48736d329", SYMLINK="Verb-2gb", MODE="0770"

killed and restarted udevd, rebooted, tried an older kernel but still they don't get processed.

udev has always been my nemesis and now it's gone further revenge on me.
How can I fix this?
Cheers
GregW

OK, I checked this and this is indeed the cause of my problems.
I've replaced

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Verbatim", ATTRS{product}=="Store 'n' Go", ATTRS{serial}=="e810c48736d329", SYMLINK="Verb-2gb", MODE="0770"

with

KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Verbatim", ATTRS{product}=="Store 'n' Go", ATTRS{serial}=="e810c48736d329", SYMLINK="Verb-2gb", MODE="0770"

and it's now working fine.

I wish the devs would check the definition of 'deprecated'  It does not mean 'removed' or 'broken'. I should still be able to use it until such time as it's removed.
