Failed to Create Symlinks ...

Hey all,

I'm having some trouble recently with my installation of udev.  I
expect it to create symlinks for a few devices, but no symlinks are
created.  For example:

udev should create a symlink, as per the rule below:
$ grep agpgart /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
KERNEL=="agpgart", NAME="misc/%k", SYMLINK+="%k"

However, on boot, no symlink exists (although the /dev/misc/agpgart
device is properly created).

Once booted, the symlink does exist in the udev database:
# udevadm info --export-db | grep -A 8 'P: /devices/virtual/misc/agpgart'
P: /devices/virtual/misc/agpgart
N: misc/agpgart
S: agpgart
E: UDEV_LOG=3
E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/misc/agpgart
E: MAJOR=10
E: MINOR=175
E: DEVNAME=/dev/misc/agpgart
E: DEVLINKS=/dev/agpgart

I don't quite know how to interpret the results from udevtest, but the
results are here:

A few other notes:
 - The system is running a recent copy of Gentoo Linux.
 - This started happening when I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.29.5 to 2.6.31.6.
 - The /dev/video0 symlink has the same problem; it should be linked
to /dev/v4l/video0, which is created correctly.

Any ideas?
- Chris
