[Nut-upsuser] nut suddenly stopped working...

I tried building nut 2.0.5 pre2 from source using the user=nut and make usb 
options, and got the same results. It works from -u root, but upsd gets a 
"connection refused" message.

Same messages when I run newhidups directly. I can't find any processes 
connected to the UPS.

I am open to suggestions. Giving up isn't an option for me, I really do 
need to get this running and more to the point, I'm writing an article 
about this which is due in a few days.

here's some of the output I've gotten:
