Please put a space between "driver" and "=". I don't know why this
matters, but apparently it does. NUT thinks that your driver is called
"" (the empty string), hence the weird error messages. 

NUT developers: perhaps parseconf.c should be changed to be more
flexible regarding white space, or the fact that the "=" must be
surrounded by spaces should be documented? I am surprised this error
is not more common. Or did I miss something?
