Sansa E250 player, udev doesn't create the nodes

Hi there,

I have an odd problem with a Sansa E250 player that worked fine until last wednesday. When I plug it in, udev does not create the nodes as it did before. The messages in the logs are quite strange also, 4 new usb devices are reported found but there should be only 2, the internal memory and the microsd card:

kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 59
kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 60
kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 61
kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 62

I can not find any node and mount the player. If I plug my other player, an iriver H320, everything works fine:

kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 19
kernel: usb 1-3: configuration #2 chosen from 1 choice
kernel: scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
kernel: scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access     TOSHIBA  MK2004GAL        JD10 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] 39063024 512-byte hardware sectors: (20.0 GB/18.6 GiB)
kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
kernel: sdb: sdb1
kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk

I've found a similar problem in Ubuntu caused by libgphoto2, so I have tried to uninstall it but the problem still remained.

I think that the problem is caused by some package updated after last wednesday but I can not find any solution. Any ideas?
