As you can see, it is the upsd that need to connect. Check that you have
the /var/state/ups dirrectory, and that it is writable by the user you
run nut as.

What upsd is looking for is the socket named safenet-ttyS1. This 
should be created in /var/state/ups.

This is how it looks on my computer running bcmxcp-usb driver.

ls -al /var/state/ups/
totalt 8
drwxrwx--- 2 nut  nut  144 24 jul 08.39 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  96 23 feb 15.52 ..
srw-rw---- 1 nut  nut    0 24 jul 08.39 bcmxcp_usb-auto

-rw-r--r-- 1 nut  nut    5 24 jul 08.39 upsd.pid
