Yes I do and I did have it installed earlier as you can see in my previous post where I listed the version number of the Chrome extension.
I am at home now and I went through the procedure again. This time I restarted after adding the udev rule file. I ran "udevadm monitor" and it looked like the rule was picked up and used by udev. When I tried registering this time the key actually started flashing and registration succeeded when I touched it. The subsequent login also worked. Very nice.
So although the README file in /etc/udev/rules.d directory state that udevd monitors the directory using inotify, it doesn't seem to work, at least not reliably. A restart may be necessary. You may want to update the instructions on the site to show that. In Linux rebooting is normally not needed when installing software, but in this case it was. Running "sudo udevadm control --reload" may be an alternative.
For a moment I suspected that one of my other Chrome extensions like Adblock or Ghostery was causing issues. But thankfully not.
Mission accomplished. Thanks.
