USB devices generally need to be opened exclusively. (Technically, the
interfaces are opened exclusively, but most UPSes have only one HID
interface, and that's what we use.)
The intent for the "-k" flag is that the system is ready for the power
to be cut, so the first thing I'd check is whether there is another
usbhid-ups driver still running.
If not, you might need to use "lsof" or something similar to see what
else might have claimed the device/interface in the mean time.
