The uhid -> ugen thing is only part of the problem. I assumed that the  
"0660 nut ups" part of the command was for permissions, but later you  
also mentioned another device node:

"Sorry for all these emails: finally, it was a permissions problem on  
the usb device itself, i.e.

/devices/pci at 0,0/pci103c,2a6c at 2/*

Thanks very much for all your help."

I have no idea how to get those permissions to stick, though.
