indeed

/usr/local/libexec/nut/blazer_**usb:

have you shared the device, in VBox ?
Ie, allowed explicitly your VM to use the UPS, or even exclusively?

try grouping your efforts, FreeBSD knowledges (I'm a newby there) and
results.

you may also try with Linux first, to get around a possible device issue
with the driver, and then get back to FBSD...
