Comment (by marco):

 Looks like HAL is assuming that, when it gets the udev event, sysfs
 already contains the new device information. That's not the case though,
 apparently sysfs is updated *after* the event with several USB disks. Is
 the HAL assumption correct and so is this an udev/kernel problem?

 To confirm it I tried to put a sleep(5); in HAL before reading sysfs and
 indeed that makes stuff work.
