I vaguely remember that I also had problems with the "?" wildcard when I
wanted to create a symlink to partition 1 of my USB harddrive. After
some trial and error I found this udev rule:
# Lacie 120GB external USB harddrive
KERNEL=="sd*1", \
ATTRS{product}=="Lacie Mobile Drive", \
ATTRS{serial}=="DFE10181B7F3", \
SYMLINK+="usb-flo2"
The two ATTRS tests make sure that it is the correct device and the
KERNEL=="sd*1" specification pins down the partition. That is not really
a pretty solution but it has always worked for me. Maybe you can use a
similar approach.
