Are you sure that it uses that driver? Unfortunately, there are two different styles of UPS which both report the "ATCL FOR UPS" string. (The "Fry's Electronics" part is a red herring - that is just Vendor ID 0001.)

http://networkupstools.org/docs/man/nutdrv_atcl_usb.html

If that doesn't work, can you post the debug messages from the driver? On Debian, after running 'service stop nut-server', you can start the driver manually with '/lib/nut/nutdrv_qx -a <name-of-driver> -DD'.
