Thanks! I hope to have a try tomorrow :)
In the meanwhile I'm having a really quick look at the code
and there is a small issue in the upsdrv_updateinfo:
the alarm parsing code is fine as long as you have a single message at 
time in the socket buffer "buf", but if the NMC sends burst of messages 
the ne_xml_parse function will read only the first one (because after 
that sees more objects without a parent. BTW it's the same reason why we 
need to parse differently the subscription reply, there is no root 
element). Maybe my code was a little bit obscure about it.
And the netxml_get_page(subdriver->summary) should be called before 
parsing alarms (let's suppose we used the test button, the BelowCapacity 
flag is read, set and soon after cleared).

I'm happy that the code helped a bit :)
