I'm not the expert here, but I think you need SYMLINK+=dvd. Then,
udev will retain this in it's memory until later when it finds the
BUS=="ide" rule that tells it how to actually create the device nodes.
I'm pretty sure if you read the how-to-write-udev-rules.html doc that
came with udev, it says that if you want multiple symlinks, you need
to use +=.
This is my setup which I tailored after reading that doc. I use
GROUP:= so that it retains the group I give even when the later
KERNEL=="hd*", GROUP="disk" would override it otherwise. I have both
generic and persistent symlinks (although, Alexander says that using
%e in the first rule is discouraged). I have two drives, hdc and hdd,
one is a CD-RW, and one is a DVD-RW.
