What does the output of 'rpm -q nut' show you?

The NUT package that was shipped with openSUSE 10.3 is badly broken with
respect to USB support. Make sure that you install *all* updates and
restart your system before attempting to configure NUT. This has to deal
with how newer kernels deal with udev, which is incompatible with earlier
versions.
