Try port = auto

In addition, is it a SMART APC?

You may also need
         driver = usbhid-ups

Instead of
>        driver = apcsmart

Lastly, lsusb, check the device & bus number, go to dev and find it, make 
sure its owner is owned by nut and looks like this:

# ls -lR /dev/bus/usb | grep nut
crw-rw-r-- 1 root nut  189, 385 2009-11-27 16:24 002
