Does it show up in dmesg, or when you run usbconfig? (pfsense is based on FreeBSD right?)

What version of NUT do you have installed?

Running 'upsc -h' should show the version, eg..
[midget 10:55] ~ >upsc -h         
Network UPS Tools upsc 2.6.4-Unversioned directory

usage: upsc -l | -L [<hostname>[:port]]
