Hi Pierre,

first, it's strange that you didn't report this either through the
BTS or directly to MGE as we're Debian Partner...

did you configured /etc/default/nut to both "yes"?
what happends if you launch "mge-shut -DDDDD -a <your_ups>"?
Before doing the above, stop nut and verify the driver is stopped too.
Also check the /etc/nut§* files privileges as per the
/usr/share/doc/nut/README.Debian.gz

This shouldn't be a hard problem to solve.
