ok, I think we were on the wrong way. the below one should be the
source of the problem:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354262

To validate, search for the right /proc/bus/usb/X/Y (where X and Y can
be looked up with lsusb) and check the right of it. It should still be
root:root.
Changing this to root:nut (and 660) should solve the isssue...

I'll wait a bit more and upload -3 tomorrow.
