I have added some basic checks to skip trigger uevents in the case the
package is installed in a chrooted environment, or if udev daemon is
not
running (then the boot disk is even not searched). Could you try the
new
version (0.4.11~quidame), please ?

If it works as you expect and you plan to ship it with the next
release of Tails, you should probably try to base some of your
custom scripts on the bilibop shell library (just play with
/lib/bilibop/disk and see).

Tips:
- if the symlink /dev/bilibop exists, it means the system is running
from a writable media (USB, MMC and the like, but not DVD);
- if you don't like 'bilibop' but prefer 'Tails' or 'bootdev', just
set up BILIBOP_COMMON_BASENAME to the value of your choice in
/etc/bilibop/bilibop.conf

Have a nice day
