For me, it's not obvious where to put it. As far as I can see from the 
kernel log, the hotplug mechanism doesn't get involved until after the 
kernel has detected the SCSI drive - and then, getting at the USB 
vendor&device ID is guesswork (going into /sys/$DEVICE/device/../../.. 
- is this guaranteed to stay that way?). Maybe if you export the ids 
into the SCSI block device sysfs directory, we could talk about 3 lines 
of hotplug script.
