to complete Alex's answer:
- NUT USB drivers use libusb, so /dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY
- the permissions issue is addressed by udev on linux. An helper script is
installed by the packages or make install.
- you may need to unplug / replug your UPS' USB cord to get the permissions
applied.

having more info on your system would help us in helping you ;-)

cheers,
Arnaud
