Find someone who has nut-2.2.2 Debian packages available compiled for  
x86_64 and install those. In all likelihood, you failed to install the  
udev rules properly (if at all). I don't know how to do that on  
Debian, but after doing that things should work running as  
non-privileged nut user. Unlike the serial interface (where it is  
sufficient to set permissions once), USB requires either hotplug or  
udev rules to set these permissions once a device is plugged in and  
enumerated.
