Who owns /dev/usb/1.2.0 ? (and what perms)

You probably need to chown it to the user upsd will run as (eg uucp, nutmon, nobody).

You can do this by putting a file into /usr/local/etc/devd which looks like..
notify 100 {
	match "vendor" "0x050d";
	match "product" "0x0751";
	action "/bin/chown nutmon: /dev/$device-name";
}

(then unplug/replug the UPS to see if it did it)
