Did you reboot after installing the nut package?  Just a couple days ago
I connected up a USB UPS to a Red Hat machine, and then installed nut,
and found that the kernel had already grabbed the device.  Apparently
nut's hotplug definition files have to be in place at boot time to prevent
that.  Maybe things work differently on Ubuntu, but it's worth a try.
