Hi All,
the issue is solved: I needed to enable kernel polling via
echo 2000 > /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs
This is a known bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725978)
and the issue lies probably in udev. The polling is supposed to be set in
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules
but somehow it does not work. Also reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=713877
