This is completely not related to XFS other than that I am using devfs
because it was installed with the RH7.0-SGI-XFS_PR and I would like to
understand it and use it. I'm hoping someone here has a better
understanding of the devfsd and its config file that I have been able to
accomplish.
Does anyone know why the commented lines at the very bottom of this config
make my devfsd puke?

Any suggestions from anyone are greatly appreciated. The online docs
haven't been much help so far (insufficient examples makes it difficult
when you don't fully understand what the docs are saying in the first
place).
Thanx,
Russ
