[Nut-upsuser] getting nut 2.6.4 working in Nas4Free

I'm trying to use a Nas4Free storage system.  This same hardware worked 
fine on Freenas 0.7.2.

O/S: Nas4Free 9.0.0.1.148 which comes with nut 2.6.4.

UPS is an APC Back UPS RS 800.  USB interface.

Driver : usbhid-ups
Port: auto

my NAS is communicating with the UPS, but in testing power failures, I'm 
not getting the shutdown to be handled properly.

When I pull the AC plug on the UPS, the NAS recognizes that event, but 
doesn't send out the email and doesn't start the shutdown sequence even 
though the 30 sec time limit has passed. The log shows errors. I've 
posted them below. The restoring of power is also recognized by the NAS.
