I'm not sure why your udev rules aren't firing, but, shouldn't you be
umounting the filesystem *Before* removing the drive? Your udev "remove"
rule is not going to fire until after the drive is pulled. This seems
like you would be risking a corrupted filesystem by umounting an
already removed drive.
I prefer to use a combination of udev rules and automount to handle
removable media, since I generally avoid using desktop managers.
