[Nut-upsuser] Install problems (group permissions) with nut 2.7.2

[Rob Groner]

My fault, I neglected to re-read the developers guide.  I had just taken the openups-usb.* and copied them, and then copied all their entries in various makefiles and changed them to match my files instead.  That wasn't enough, apparently.

I'll try following the guide verbatim instead and see how well that works for me.

Sincerely,
Rob Groner
