Everything is good up to here. Your UPS, cable, and driver (newhidups)
are all working.

This is definitely a problem. Upsd has "given up" its attempt to
connect to the driver. 

There should be a socket in your state directory (typically
/var/state/ups). This is what upsd uses to connect to the driver. 

Perhaps you should start "/usr/local/libexec/nut/upsd" and not just
"upsd"?  Maybe they are not configured the same way.
