Sorry about the time warp on this. I had some issues in my office and 
wasn't running the box for a while. Here is the actual error:

Feb 16 10:15:40 freenas upsmon[2939]: UPS [CR-UPS]: connect failed: 
Connection failure: Connection refused
Feb 16 10:16:15 freenas last message repeated 7 times
Feb 16 10:18:17 freenas last message repeated 24 times
Feb 16 10:19:38 freenas last message repeated 16 times

And the subsequent messages are what I mean about complaining endlessly. 
Stopping and restarting the UPS service (nut) resolves the problem as 
follows:

Feb 16 10:20:13 freenas notifier: Detected SMART-UPS 5000 RM DL4 on host

Hopefully that makes what I meant more clear.

Thanx,
