the mdev.txt explains the expected behavior.  if the destination ends in a /, 
then the device node is moved there and the old name is symlinked.  if the 
destination does not end in a /, then the device node is renamed to that and 
the old name is symlinked.  this way both moving and symlinking are 
supported.

it works for me:
input.* 0:0 0644 >input/

all input device nodes get placed into the input subdirectory and symlinked 
from the top directory.
