AFAIK, it's not udev doing this, but hal.  Thus your changes to udev 
wouldn't have the desired effect.

I ran into something similar with k3b.  Hal used to work fine, using its 
defaults only if there was no fstab entry for that device, using the 
fstab entry if there was.  Now hal screws things up by insisting on doing 
things /its/ way, despite a perfectly valid system config, and k3b looks 
in the system configured spot while hal's putting it somewhere else.  
There's an open bug on k3b, but I really think it should be on hal since 
hal's what's breaking a previously working config by insisting on doing 
things its own way instead of following the otherwise perfectly fine 
system config.
