well, it's sometimes hard to stand the pace of opensource devs.
adding legacy support makes it sometime impossible, and distract from
ongoing developments.
but patches are always welcome ;-)

I assume xenserver 5.6 is only a RHEL 5.6 with xen bundled (and some more),
so the solution to your issue is:
sed -i 's|ATTR|SYSFS|g' /etc/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules
sed -i 's|add\|change|add|g' /etc/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules

you already had the 2nd, and Petr pointed you the direction of the 1rst...

cheers,
Arnaud
