That was my assumption.

I was thinking something more like 5 or even just 1.  However as I think the 
udevsettle is waiting for itself to complete I've tried spawning the cryptsetup 
in my script in a separate shell so it runs asynchronously allowing the run rule 
script to complete.

It seems to work - I'm not sure what problems might appear!

So that's my particular problem solved but obviously running udevsettle from 
within a program is problematic.
