Udev Symlinks in Xorg

I've made some rules in Udev:
#Logitech Dinovo Keyboard
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="03", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="01", ENV{ID_CLASS}="kbd", SYMLINK+="input/keyboard-dinovo"
#Logitech MX Revolution Mouse
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="046d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="c51a", SYMLINK+="input/mx-event"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="mouse[0-9]*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="046d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="c51a", SYMLINK+="input/mx"
They both get created and they both emit data when using od on them.
Problem is that only the keyboard works with these symlinks and not the
mouse.
Xorg reports:
(EE) ioctl EVIOCGNAME failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Mouse0"
My distro build is from 2009 and I looked into upgradeing Udev, but
seems I have to upgrade my whole glibc first, so that's a nogo, atm.
The funny thing is that the keyboard works fine with these symlinks.
X.Org X Server 1.7.3 and Udev-130.
Anyone got any idea what I maybe can try, except doing a clean distro
build to get a new glibc?.
