Kees, do you think it will introduce problems if the vgchange returns
an error but, now that watershed daemonizes and does not propagate
vgchange's exit status, the udev rule doesn't see it?

It seems to me there's no graceful recovery from that anyway so it
shouldn't really matter, but clearly I could be missing something.
