OK - this is possible with a slight change. On one of the google hits
for udev it talked about using the KERNEL="sd?1" match - but that
doesn't work with multi-function devices since the sd?n devices aren't
present in time. However - using the following works for me:
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="Media Inc. SM/xD", NAME{all_partitions}="LexarSMxD"
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="Media Inc. CF", NAME{all_partitions}="LexarCF"
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="Media Inc. SD/MS", NAME{all_partitions}="LexarSDMS"
Note - that this creates /dev/LexarSMxD, /dev/LexarSMxD1,
/dev/LexarSMxD2 etc etc. Not as symlinks but as devices - you don't
get the /dev/sd.. links - but in fstab I have a noauto,user,rw mount
from /dev/LexarSMxD1 to /mnt/lexar_sm - and it works just great.
I also have a USB keyring (MobileDisk). This works with:
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="MOBILE Disk ", KERNEL="sd?1", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="MobileDisk"
This is because when you plug it in the sda1 (or sd?1) device is
created too - so - this can keep it's kernel name and get a symlink.

I'll give it a go.
Have to say - the more I use udev the more I like it. I never got
devfs to work exactly as I wanted - so this is good stuff :-)
Dave - you said you were using autofs to mount some of your devices?
You haven't got an example config file you could send?
