What I've just done is add the following line at the top of my dvb.rules:

KERNEL="dvb", NAME=""

This effectively ignores the "/class/dvb" kernel device name that was 
duffing things up, and so udev is able to create the /dev/dvb/adapter0/* 
device nodes successfully (see below) when I enter "modprobe cx88-dvb".

Granted, I have to type "modprobe cx88-dvb" each time I reboot (havent set 
that up to be called automatic yet), but this seems a much more optimistic 
outlook than "It won't work on FC3" doesn't it (or is there something more 
subtle that I've overlooked - everything seems to work fine with dvbd)?.
