Finally, working. Tweaked the Debian init script to point to the new
paths. Thanks to everyone who stuck with my attack of n00b.

The version that will ship with Ubuntu hardy doesn't work with the
Belkin Active Battery Backup series . Specifically this version:
root at tom:/lib/nut# ./megatec_usb.old -V
Network UPS Tools 2.2.1 - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.9 [megatec_usb.old]
Carlos Rodrigues (c) 2003-2007

Serial-over-USB transport layer for Megatec protocol driver
[megatec_usb.old]
Andrey Lelikov (c) 2006, Alexander Gordeev (c) 2006-2007, Jon Gough
(c) 2007

The one from trunk does:
root at tom:/usr/local/nut/bin# ./megatec_usb -V
Network UPS Tools 2.3.0-1306 - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.12
[megatec_usb]
Carlos Rodrigues (c) 2003-2008

Serial-over-USB transport layer for Megatec protocol driver [megatec_usb]
Andrey Lelikov (c) 2006, Alexander Gordeev (c) 2006-2007, Jon Gough
(c) 2007

(and I know /usr/local isn't the best place to put it)

 Hope that this helps a bit...

Regards,
Cian
