Agreed. Since it did not fix the problem, I remerged udev-087-r1.

Good question. Nothing I have intentionally done.
None of the other rules files in /etc/udev/rules.d contain any string
matches as you suggest, except those listed in the previous resonse,
found in 50-udev.rules.

Here's what I found:
RC_DEVICES="auto"
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"

I'm going to play around with these and test; results to follow.

yes, I rsync emerge and update regularly (daily) almost.

It was a rethorical question. I should have stated:
It looks as though the (mode) permissions and groups are not
getting set per the udev files, or did I miss something?
