FYI, I got that error yesterday with NUT 2.4.3, kernel 2.6.33.3, and a 
CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD using usbhid-ups and it seems fine after applying 
this patch:

Also FYI, the hardware compatibility list lists cyberpower or powerpanel 
under the Cyber Power section, but the cyberpower driver appears to have 
been removed from the source at some point.  I had configure build 
usbhid-ups, powerpanel, and cyberpower in case I tried it via serial cable 
at some point in the future, cyberpower failed.
