Peter is right. We'll follow on privately, but I've kept this mail public as
I've found this problem, and I'm working on a fix.
An update will be soon available on the MGE PSP repository.

Finally note that MGE officially support NUT and the PSP, so you should
prefer using the standard support call:

I recommend you try configuring NUT by following the instructions in
