the permissions used by the driver are not those set on the directory 
where it tries to write
for testing purposes you could try to run it as root
in order to avoid conflicts, if you did not already do that, please also 
remove the package installed from EPEL prior to testing.

the fact that on a package-managed distribution you are using 
self-compiled applications, without using the correct settings at 
compile time :).
If you are not willing to use the packages I provide, at least take 
inspiration from the spec file included in 
https://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/nut/nut-2.7.4-4.el6.wolfy.1.src.rpm ( the 
%build and %install sections ). Although you'd better rebuild that 
src.rpm if you are afraid to use the binaries directly.
