Well, I told you to "kill any existing instances of the 'usbhid-ups'  
driver." This can usually be done by stopping NUT, but you really want  
to be sure that none is running (otherwise the drivers will battle for  
control over the UPS, which isn't a pretty sight in debug mode). So  
you may want to run something like

	ps aux|grep usbhid-ups

to find any remaining drivers left running in the background.

I completely missed the fact that you're still running an older  
version of NUT. Upgrading to nut-2.2.2 would be really helpful (since  
we rearranged some debug levels since nut-2.2.0). If that's not an  
option, we'll have to crank up the debug level to -DDDDD (yup, that's  
five D's) in order not to miss anything. You may also want to append  
'2>&1' to the command line, so that we don't miss the output from the  
stderr (it looks like some is missing now).

Best regards, Arjen
