Well, I had to invoke a wrapper script:

  root@liberty:~# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-easytether.rules 
  ACTION=="add", \
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
    ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", \
    ATTR{idProduct}=="2d66", \
    RUN+="/usr/local/bin/MB300 &", \
    ENV{REMOVE_CMD}="/bin/killall easytether 2>/dev/null"

  root@liberty:~# cat /usr/local/bin/MB300 
  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/local/bin/easytether connect &
 
The REMOVE_CMD probably isn't necessary, but I left it there anyway :)
