Sorry for the confusion - the name after "-a" must match the UPS name
in *your* ups.conf file, and I guess I was a little hasty with the
copy-and-paste.

Assuming your ups.conf looks like this:

##########

[omni1000]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        desc = "Omni UPS"

##########

Try this command line (still starting it as root):

   /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -u root -a omni1000 -D

What I was trying to explain in the last email is that you should see
more than just the version string. With one "-D" on the command line,
it should say "debug level is '1'" and print out some more
information.
