The new udev is taking over the hotplug and also coldplug functions.

It go into /etc/udev/rules.d.
Copy the 'scripts/hotplug-ng/nut-usbups.rules.in' to /etc/udev/rules.d
and rename it to 55-usbups.rules .

Then it is parsed after the default udev.rules.

Now open the file and change the "@RUN_AS_USER@" to the user you run 
nut as.

The lines look like this (sorry for the line break). 
# APC - usbhid-ups
SYSFS{idVendor}=="051d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0002", MODE="660",
GROUP="@RUN_AS_USER@"

if you run it as user nut, it should look like this.
# APC - usbhid-ups
SYSFS{idVendor}=="051d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0002", MODE="660",
GROUP="nut"

As you are running an APC this is the only line you need but you can
edit all of them.
