All you need to do is to use adapter_nr option passed to the kernel module, i.e.
options dvb_usb_dib0700 adapter_nr=0,1
The above line tell the module to assign 0 and 1 to the card that uses
that module, so in your case you create a options.conf under
/etc/modprobe.d/
then do 2 lines of
option kernel_module adapter_nr=0
option kernel_module adapter_nr=1
On reboot the kernel modules will pick up it's adapter number and
apply it for you, no need for any udev rules.
