What are you using to test that a 10 second delay is present?

If you run 'udevadm monitor', does it show a 10 second delay?

Remember, for a usb-storage device, the kernel will wait at least 5
seconds before creating the block device for it as part of the "settle
the device down" delay.  If you don't like it, you can change that
parameter to be shorter, but you do so at your own risk.

thanks,
