Okay, so I wrote a new rule into rules.d that goes like this:
KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/bin/mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /home/dcowsill/usb"
Now, this works (sort of). If I were to run udevstart, udev would
happily execute mount on the usb drive and all would be well. If the
system is restarted or the device is plugged in, no joy.
So why is this only executing when I use udevstart?
