Which kernel version are you using? ('uname -r') Depending on the version of
the kernel there might be more modules that you need to replace than
wacom.ko. Updated versions of the needed modules are included in the
linuxwacom package (.../src/2.*).

This entry (or this part: Driver=usbhid) indicates that at least the usbhid
modules has not been updated (which is needed so it won't snatch it from the
wacom module).
Note: In some distros some essential parts are not built as a modules, but
linked statically into the kernel. usbhid is one of those on my system, so
you might end up having to rebuild the kernel-image as well and not only the
modules.

Nah.. The config you posted didn't look bad as far as I could see. There are a
few things that you might want to fine-tune once you got is working though:
* A have a few more options in my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "stylus"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Mode" "Absolute"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "USB" "on"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"
Option "KeepShape" "on"
Endsection
You might want to add a few of the available, check with the man-page for
wacom for available options and what they do (also available here:
http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/inputdev)
* The file 10-wacom.rules will work, but give you warnings when you boot. Add
two '=' to make those go away:
KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k",
SYMLINK="input/wacom"
