Please check the mailing lists to see if there are any other reports for these particular models over USB. The only full dump I could find was with the apcsmart driver: http://networkupstools.org/ddl/APC/Smart-UPS_3000_RM.html

There is a "pollonly" flag that might help, but it is supposed to be selected automatically. What does 'lsusb -vvv -d 051d:' return when run as root?
