I wonder what would happen if I created a directory for the device, and in that directory, I created the device statically with the permissions and ownerships I want and then udev can go do whatever it likes. It seems to be a better than delving into /etc/udev, and dealing with a whole other set of intricacies. It's an idea I have, and I am just going to try it. Thanks for everyone's help so far!
