Very nice.  My APCs are all fairly old, using a serial cable for
communication.  I made a local.rules file in /etc/udev/ with the
following line:

KERNEL=="ttyS0", OWNER="nut", GROUP="nut", MODE="0600", OPTIONS+="last_rule"

Then put a symlink in /etc/udev/rules.d/ with the name 010_local.rules.

I'm running debian testing with nut 2.0.3-4 pulled from unstable.
