Actually, for the usbhid-ups driver (with only one UPS on a machine), / 
etc/nut/boils down to:

###########
[myups]
	driver = usbhid-ups
	port = auto
	desc = "Whatever floats your boat"
###########

"port" does not matter here, it just has to be something (the Linux / 
dev/bus/usb addresses change based on what order things are plugged  
in, as well as the kernel version and phase of the moon).

The key to your setup is specifying "usbhid-ups" as the driver name.

Out of curiosity, do you get any more detail from 'lsusb -vv' if you  
run it as root?
