Suggestion: in the ups-log.py script, open a local debug logging file with 
handle "fd_log" in mode "append".  Record every call of ups-log.py in "fd_log", 
whether valid or not.  Does "some text" appear in "fd_log"?  For the other calls 
of ups-log.py, does anything appear in "fd_log"?

For example:

# Function open_log_file opens a file for logging
# The file owner will be uid, with group gid, e.g. upsd:daemon
# Returns file handle
def open_log_file (logfile, uid, gid) :
   try :
     fd_log = open(logfile, 'a')   # Opened for current user, re-open if user change
     os.chmod(logfile, 0o664)
     os.chown(logfile, uid, gid)
     return fd_log
