You may want to check out devfs.rules(5) for changing permissions on hotplug devices.

That said, I do use a similar entry in usbd.conf to spawn pppd when I connect my Tungsten E. With that I find I need to add a "sleep 2;" to the beginning of the 'attach' line or the following command fails because the device nodes aren't set up quickly enough.

HTH.
