I think you may be suffering from this problem:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400215

Try placing the attached file in the "/etc/udev" directory. And BTW,
try using "newhidups" instead of "hidups" (which is obsolete).

A fixed "nut-usb" package is currently in "unstable", but seems to be
blocked from "etch" due to a missing "arm" build.

Arnaud, is this normal?
