> 1. I made two rules-files
I wouldn't do that. Better have one single file with all local
modifications to the udev rules. (I have other rules in that file,
too). That's far handier to backup and maintain, though it's
certainly not the reason why it doesn't work for you.

That's ok.

Shouldn't be. That's why I chose number 91.

Yes, that adds the device nodes, and we only add to that (RUN+=).

No idea about that, but I have it, too, and it doesn't get in the
way. 91 comes after 60. :-)
I'd put a debug message into the /etc/js[01] files, so that you
can see if and when they were run:
echo woohoo > /dev/tty10 # written to the F10 console
and let udev read the new rules before you plug the js:
# udevcontrol reload_rules
You can see in "dmesg" output and on the F10 console (Ctrl-Alt-F10)
if everything went well. I got an error when my script didn't have
a #!/bin/sh line on top.
It's not important to have the calibration script run by udev,
I just found the idea nice. Occasionally my js isn't recognized
at boot time, and I have to plug it in/out again. And so I don't
have to worry about calibration.
