Input, Uinput, and udev problems with user access

Howdy,

Up until yesterday evening, the following setup would allow the Fenrir screen reader to access the tools it needs to read without root access in terminal emulators like Xterm:

       groupadd --system input
       groupadd --system uinput
       echo 'KERNEL==\"event*\", NAME=\"input/%k\", MODE=\"660\", GROUP=\"input\"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules
       echo 'KERNEL==\"uinput\", SUBSYSTEM==\"misc\", OPTIONS+=\"static_node=uinput\", TAG+=\"uaccess\", GROUP=\"uinput\"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-fenrirscreenreader.rules

Now, however, while it can still read the screen, the keyboard does nothing. Has something changed, and if so, what do I need to do differently to get it working again?

Thanks,
Storm
