you have perhaps missed that one (not mentioned nor the way you started the
components!):
==  /etc/default/nut ==
START_UPSD=yes
START_UPSMON=yes

have a look at /usr/share/doc/nut/README.Debian for more info.
also note that I've completely changed this (ie removed this file) from the
latest release in Sid (and Jaunty) 2.4.1-2: it has been replaced by the new
nut.conf file, shipped with NUT (as of 2.4.0)

otherwise, check your device (ie if lsusb give Bus:Dev 001:001, then "ls -l
/dev/bus/usb/001/001).
it should be root:nut

starting the driver in debug mode might help too: /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -DDD
-a MGE850VA

cheers,
Arnaud
