that is odd because nut-client should have created /var/run/nut/. If you 
run rpm -ql nut-client you will notice that /var/run/nut is listed in 
the very last line:

[root at belgrade ~]# rpm -ql --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}\n\n" 
nut-client
nut-client-2.7.5-0.20170613gitb1314c6.el6.wolfy.usb01 (ignore the 
"usb01" tag, I added it for my personal reference since I built against 
various libusb versions)

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ups
/etc/ups
/etc/ups/upsmon.conf
/etc/ups/upssched.conf
[...]
/usr/share/pixmaps/nut-monitor.png
/var/lib/ups
/var/run/nut  <=============

That's the error I get with one of my UPSes ( an Eaton ) as well. No 
solution so far for me.

I am really puzzled. Do you get any selinux related errors ( running 
aureport -ts today -a should list the AVCs if any )?
