The driver doesn't background when running in debug mode, so yes, this
loop will seem to be infinite.

Indeed. So the problem probably doesn't lie between driver and UPS as they
seem to communicate quite happily.

No, that point will be reached regardless of running in debug mode or not.
As I wrote in a previous reply, most likely there is a permissions
problem. The easiest way to verify this, is to run both the driver and
server as root, by passing the '-u root' option in the startup line.

    /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl -u root start
    /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u root

If the above solves the problem, it is a permissions problem.
