Trying access and label a 2TB portable USB drive under Redhat 5.7.

Normally this just "works" but in this case, the kernel says it is going to
use sdd1, but none of the device entries exists.

Output from dmesg:

usb 2-1.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
usb 2-1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi25 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

/dev entries:

sh-3.2# ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  0 Jan 20  2013 /dev/sda
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  1 Jan 20  2013 /dev/sda1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  2 Jan 20  2013 /dev/sda2
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 16 Jan 20  2013 /dev/sdb
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 32 Jan 20  2013 /dev/sdc

So why isn't udev creating the device entries?
