That's strange... Maybe you have a bad cable, or that model doesn't
use the megatec procotol.

What's the name of the software that Mustek ships with that UPS? Have
you been able to use the UPS with any software other that NUT (on
FreeBSD or any other operating system)?

PS: please keep the list CC:ed so that others may have the opportunity
to give their 2 cents.
