Put the full output of the command:
***
udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/
***
And upload the result to pastebin (or any other online service) to avoid
flood the list with tons of data :-)

Care about this (comes from your [2] link):
"...while it is legal to combine the attributes from the device in
question and a single parent device, you cannot mix-and-match attributes
from multiple parent devices - your rule will not work"
So, SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi" and ATTRS{serial}
=="57442D575839314133303236343538" have to be in the same "parent device"
block.
