[Nut-upsuser] USB permission problem

[Karl Dalen]

I have just compiled and installed nut-2.4.1 and I get
the following errors when I try it: There is no difference
if I run it as root or normal user. Any help would be
appreciated.

I have a tripp lite 1000LCD and my etc/ups.conf looks like:
[SMART1000LCD]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "Tripp Lite SMART1000LCD USB"

The device is identified in dmesg as:
