Yep, that does work, unfortunately it also breaks a few things I don't
want to break

So far I've managed to tweak the rule in 50-udev-default.rules so I at
least get an email notification that a usb device has been attached.  Now
I need to do that and prevent the mounting of said device.

Maybe somebody can offer advice on this:  If I leave the libusb section in
50-udev-default.rules file and put my new rule that does notification in a
20-local.rules I understand that the 20 file is a higher priority.  But
does that also mean that if a new device gets a hit in the 20 file that it
will ignore the rule in 50?  Or should I be commenting out the libusb
entry in 50 so it's disabled and only the 20-local.rules file will take
action?
