The last line shows that the instance of upsmon which should call upssched is 
running as nutmon.  Good.

The last line shows that upsmon expects upssched to be in /sbin.

But this shows that upssched is located in directory /home/nutmon.  Is this the 
problem?

What NOTIFYFLAG declarations with the EXEC option do you have in upsmon.conf ?
If the declarations

    NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT   SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC
    NOTIFYFLAG LOWBATT  SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC

are missing, that could also be a problem.
