I don't know.
maybe just that old udev does not know about "IMPORT" and $env{} stuff.
from the ls -l you posted, not only DRBD uses those,
and they are all broken on your box (or on rhel4 in general).

now, parports and ramdisk and stuff all had "funny" symlinks

remove the udev rules file for drbd,
and keep doing what you did before.
that udev stuff is a recent addition to drbd.
if it does not work for you, ignore it.
for now, at least.
