This rule is fundamentally broken. You are explicitly setting the environment to point to your .Xauthority file and the first instance of an X server, which of course, assumes that you are logged into that X instance at the time. When this rule is processed, that is almost certainly not going to be true.

It also will run repeatedly for every input device in the system. Maybe you meant ENV{ID_CLASS}=="mouse" instead of ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse"?
