Then try this.....

Make a new file with a new name in /etc/udev/rules.d with only your specific rules?  The one thing that isn't clear to me is if you should have a higher number or a lower number than a rule which may also match the condition you're trying to catch.  I can't tell, from the documentation, if rules processing stops when a match is made or if rules are processed in order such that the last match is what is used.

So, to me, the question would be what is more appropriate.   10-mystuff.rules or 99-mystuff.rules.
