No, this is meaningless. /etc/init.d/udev-mtab has nothing to do with
this, the directory is supposed to be created by udevstart and using
/dev/.static/dev/.udevdb is definitely wrong because the file system
will be read only.
Let's try a different approach. What happens if you restore the correct
udev.conf and add "mkdir /dev/.udevdb" to /etc/init.d/udev after the
"warn_if_interactive" line?
