Silly me - of course there is no useful UID for a script run by udev. 
Thinking about it, you may have a problem if there are several users 
active at the same time. Then there should be several directories in 
/run/user and I don't think you have a way to decide for which user you 
should make the device available.

Hmm, I think that idea wasn't useful either. After all the path does not 
yet exist, so the wildcard doesn't help here.
