Good info, but it would be better to know the nut version. And the driver
version number also.

That is OK.

This should be located in /var/lib/nut and that directory should belong to the
user nut is running as. Normaly nut. But it depends on the packages.

Think we have some debian users that could help you with this.

This indicate an older verion of the nut. Now it appands the tag name ( for 
you 'myups') to the socket, like bcmxcp_usb-myups.

This is my /var/lib/nut
ls -l /var/lib/nut/
totalt 8
srw-rw---- 1 nut nut 0  9 dec 21.51 bcmxcp_usb-pw3105
