    @terdon ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10a9", RUN+="echo foo > /tmp/foo" doesn't run.

    Your second rule has no specific device. Try adding ATTRS{idVendor}=="10a9" to your rule and just give echo foo > /tmp/foo or something as the command to run.

    "Version 1 uses environment variables which I'm not sure whether or not the rule has access to." -- I believe that is correct, you don't get any ENV stuff for "add" events.  Your echo's are not going to show up anywhere, but you can use the logger command to pipe stuff to syslog.

    Does it run if you use something even simpler like ls? Also, do you actually have a /home/root directory? Root's $HOME is usually /root.
