Trudging along here...

I'm trying to write the udev rule to unbind the device from usb_hid at 
boot time using Alec's supplied page here:

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13964/prevent-claiming-of-novelty-usb-device-by-usbhid-so-i-can-control-it-with-libusb

But I am unsure what the variable should be. My rule looks like:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", ATTRS{idProduct}=="20cc", 
MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", RUN="/bin/sh -c 'echo -n $number:1.0 > 
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind'"

But 'udevadm control -R' does not unbind usb-hid:

$tree /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/
âââ 1-2:1.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0
âââ bind
âââ module -> ../../../../module/usbhid
âââ new_id
âââ remove_id
âââ uevent
âââ unbind
