I've just added the following to the FAQ, which will hopefully solve your
issue:
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/commit/eb1f01ed6f0e3844d00876b748287976b7c2478a

this may need some improvement though (lsusb + "ls -l /dev/bus/XXX/YYY"
check, "-u root" test, ...)!
FAQ would need an overall refresh:
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/19

cheers,
