Some things I probably should have asked earlier:

1) Is this command actually listed in the output of "upscmd -l"?

2) Are you including the appropriate username/password parameters to  
upscmd? (I see two spaces after upscmd, as though you removed your  
username and password, but I figure it can't hurt to ask.)

3) Are there any log messages from upsd?

4) Does the calibration work if you manually run something like:
  "snmpset <host-and-community> PowerNet- 
MIB::upsAdvTestRuntimeCalibration.0 i 2" ?
(if it does, you should be able to stop it by changing the "2" to a  
"3").

I am CC'ing Arnaud in case he has additional debugging tips.
