Have made the mail a little shorter. By the way you should
get the same output with only 2 D.

./bcmxcp -a powerware  -DD  -i 5 -x baud_rate=9600

But now to the problem

This is not normal every output should have length 8,
so you should have 33650/8 = 4206.25 outlets.

And this make the error. Because the driver set up the outlets now.
Do you have a firmware before Rev: AE ?

This may be fixable by reading the firmware revision and skip this
setup of outlet blocks.
