[Nut-upsuser] hidups can't find device

[Peter Selinger]

Please upgrade to NUT 2.0.5-pre2. APC support was much improved since
2.0.4.

Also, try these instructions: 
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html

If it still doesn't work, please write to the list again with more
specific information.
